The Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Mrs Biodun Olujimi has called on Nigerians to keep faith with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the impending general elections.
Senator Olujimi, who is seeking a third term in the senate , urged the people to vote massively for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa to tackle the myriad of challenges confronting the nation.
The former senate minority leader explained that, if elected in the election, the PDP government would turn around the situation and improve the living standard of the people.
She spoke during a solidarity rally staged for her and the presidential candidate of the party in the senatorial district ahead of the polls.
At the 10,000-man rally held in Ikere-Ekiti, headquarters of the district, PDP members from the six Local Government Areas in the district comprising Ikere, Gbonyin, Ekiti East, Ise-orun, Emure and Ekiti South West also rally support for the House of Representatives candidate, Henrich Akomolafe and the party’s House of Assembly candidates.
Blaming the country’s multifaceted problems on the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC), Olujimi said the PDP has what it takes to rescue the nation.
She admonished the citizenry to collect their permanent voter cards(PVCs) and commenced the mobilization in their communities towards rejecting the APC and its candidates at the poll.
Olujimi said, “ the suffering in the country is biting harder everyday due to the poor and incompetent government of the APC and I want to assure our people that PDP is ready to end these suffering; Our candidate Atiku Abubakar has the solutions to our problems.
“ Let’s go home, mobilize our friends, relatives and neighbours and use our PVCs to reject APC at all levels ; people should take their anger to the poll and vote PDP for peace, progress and national development.”
While reeling out her contributions to the district since she was elected in the senate ranging from empowerment , infrastructure and human capital development and scholarship, among other interventions, Olujimi said the people of the area would enjoy more dividends of democracy if elected again.
“ I am here again seeking your support to return to the senate for us to enjoy more development in the senatorial district and I can say that I won’t disappoint you. We have done a lot in the last eight years and experience will be an advantage for me if I return and don’t forget, my chance of becoming senate president is high if PDP wins,” she said.
Addressing the huge crowd during the rally, the Director General of the PDP presidential campaign council in the zone and former deputy governor of the state, Professor Kolapo Olusola-Eleka urged the people to support all PDP candidates in the election for socio-economic development in the society.
“ I want to assure you that all our candidates will not disappoint you. We have commenced enormous grassroots sensitization across the state to ensure all our candidates emerge to rescue Nigeria from her dwindling and precarious condition, “ he said.
