This comes as the state chapter of the party has been tirelessly mobilising for Atiku’s two-day campaign tour of the state, which began on Tuesday.
Mallam Rasheed Olawale, Director of Media and Publicity for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council in the State, released a statement on Tuesday. He said that PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar would pay a courtesy call to His Royal Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, as well as the Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland and the Ataoja of Osogbo.
“He will round up the day with a closed-door meeting with stakeholders and leaders of the party. Tomorrow Wednesday, is the D-day for the presidential rally,” he said.
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council chairman in Osun State, Hon. Sunday Bisi, commented on the upcoming visit, saying that the state was prepared to host the Atiku.
“Osun is PDP, and Atiku Abubakar will win Osun by more than 60 per cent. Across the local governments, our party enjoys massive support. Our popular Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke is a huge asset to the Atiku/Okowa campaigns,” Hon Bisi stated.
The PDP’s interim state chairman in Osun, Dr Akindele Adekunle, echoed the sentiments of Hon. Bisi said that Osun’s people would cast their ballots exclusively for PDP candidates in the 2023 election.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the candidate to beat. He is ready, prepared and enjoys support that is national in outlook. Osun people will go Atiku’s way because they trust his agenda, antecedents and passion for public service,” the party chieftain stated.
