A member of the Board of Trustees of the People’s Democratic Party PDP from Abia State, Chief Sam Nkire has assured the PDP Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of a landslide victory in the S-East region.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri at precincts of the PDP S-East rally, Chief Nkire said Atiku needed not to worry about victory in the zone, as according to him, “it is the people of the S-East who have called Atiku to come and save them from hunger and poverty and not the other way round “.
Nkire who was a campaign manager of the Obasanjo/Atiku presidential election of 2003, said with Atiku as president of Nigeria, half of the country’s many problems would be solved within four years.
According to Chief Nkire, Nigeria’s problems were not only joblessness, poverty and insecurity but included poor external image which could be best tackled by Atiku in the present circumstances.
Chief Nkire described Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as a man whose time had come, adding that he was the most suited to get the job done, “sieving through the pack of other aspirants.
He said only Atiku possessed what it takes to confront and defeat the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, “who visited Nigerians with so much pain and misery during his time”.
