A socio-political group in Ekiti State, Nigerian Youths For Atiku has welcomed the former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, back to Nigeria after some time outside the country, appreciating his continued constructive criticisms of APC government.
The State Chairman of the group in Ekiti State and who was the Secretary of Support Groups for the Presidential Campaign Committee in the last Presidential election, Mr Adebisi Adeola said Nigerians are calling for a purposeful leader, whose wealth of experience and acumen in public administration can navigate prosperity, among other dividends of democracy for Nigerians
Addressing the press in Ado Ekiti today, Adebisi Adeola said the panacea to oust APC-led government in 2027 is unity of purpose amongst the opposition parties.
He noted that political parties and associations have evolved over the years through ideology and determination to checkmate the dictatorial tendencies of the ruling party.
Calling on stakeholders in the party to rally round Atiku for a smooth disengagement of APC, and providing purposeful leadership for Nigeria, he called for clear direction for the party in the forthcoming National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party. He observed this is the most anticipated meeting hoping to give a direction which will serve as avenue to chart a way forward after the loss of the party in the 2023 general election.
“We hope the party will come out strongly; giving hope to the disturbed Nigerians about the future of PDP in Nigeria by addressing salient issues bordering on discipline and party supremacy”, he said.
Appreciating the president of the group for providing leadership for the group across the thirty six States, Adebisi said Prof Gold C W Emmanuel is no doubt a woman who is worthy of emulation. We have seen her leadership dexterity and eagerness to engage the grassroots for the advancement of Nigeria under the leadership of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in 2027.
