PDP will put food on Nigerians’ tables, says Secondus

The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has said that the party would tackle hunger and put food on the table for Nigerians if the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is elected President.

Speaking at the party’s presidential rally in Dutse, Jigawa State on Monday, the party chair described Atiku as energetic, competent and with experience in tackling poverty.

Prince Secondus told the jubilant crowd that their massive turn out at the rally was a clear indication that power is returning to the PDP and that the state has already joined the train to rescue Nigeria.

In a statement issued shortly after the rally by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, the party chair assured the people that Atiku was fully equipped for the challenges of governance.

Secondus said that the APC has failed Nigeria and should be thrown out, as the ruling party has not been able to fulfill any of the promises it made to Nigerians in 2015.

The party chair was quoted as saying, “The choice before us is between competence and incompetence, between broken promises and a man ready and equipped for the job”.

Reminding the people that Atiku’s late mother hailed from Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Secondus assured them that they would not regret voting the PDP candidate. He stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration has done incalculable damage to the country.

The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido who also spoke at the rally, berated the APC administration, saying the ruling party has destroyed the country as a result of incompetence and lack of direction.

Atiku was reported to have led the PDP campaign train to the  palace of the Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Sanusi, who prayed for him and his team.
