Timi Frank,
a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, has said that the appointment of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki as
the Director General of the Atiku Abubakar campaign organization, will ensure
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP sails to victory in 2019.
He said this
while commending the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
and his party on the appointment of Saraki as the Campaign Director-General.
Frank, who
warned the ruling party not to contemplate rigging in the 2019 general elections,
said with the team put together by the PDP defeat is already imminent for President
Buhari and his party.
Reacting in
a statement he signed and made available to the Media on Tuesday, Comrade Frank
said because of the popularity and love Nigerians have for most of the PDP
figures in the campaign team, victory is assured for the opposition party in
the coming general elections.
Some other
names announced as zonal coordinators by the PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan,
include; “governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto, North-west), Ibrahim Dankwambo
(Gombe, North-east), Samuel Ortom (Benue, North-central), Nyesom Wike (Rivers,
South-south) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi, South-east). Former Ekiti State governor,
Mr. Ayo Fayose, would coordinate the South-west.
Ologbondiyan
also said Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, was appointed Chairman of
Fund Raising Committee, while former presidential aspirant, Alhaji Taminu
Turaki, would head the legal committee.
While
warning the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government not to contemplate
rigging the next election, Frank said Nigerians will protect their votes and
ensure that their votes count.
Frank added,
“I join other well-meaning Nigerians to congratulate the Senate President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki on his appointment as campaign DG. Dr. Saraki and other
appointees have proved their competency to deliver and I believe that their
current assignment will ensure a safe return of President Muhammadu Buhari to
Daura while his party return to opposition after 2019 general elections.
“I also call
on other PDP leaders, most especially all other presidential aspirants to join
hands with Senator Saraki during the campaign to solidify the acceptability of
PDP and its presidential candidate.”
