A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Otunba
Segun Adewale has posited that South West region of the country will
determine the winner of the 2019 Presidential election.
Adewale made this known to newsmen on Christmas get together he organized for his business and political associates.
Adewale said that the chances of the former Vice President Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar is very bright but must ensure that he work with people who
truly wants him to emerge as the next President.
He said for instance in Lagos, a lot of the people running and forming a
circle around him from the State have not lifted a finger to add
anything to Atiku’s electoral fortune or campaign, he stressed further
that many of them lack the political sagacity to use their influence to
affect his electoral fortune but keep on with habit of name dropping.
It is not news that Nigerians have rejected APC, their only hope is to
rig the election recklessly, and our party must be ready to prevent it
by looking for trusted and capable hands with committed party members
who are ready to defend the votes even with their lives.
PDP have always won convincingly in South West but our polling agents
are too porous, the elections are rigged right from polling units to
collation centers with intimidation and forceful declaration of fake
result or outright refusal or allowing PDP to even vote in some polling
units.
Adewale said if Atiku truly wants to win convincingly in South West, he
must assemble young and smart “Hard Working Team” with proven electoral
track record and not the regular old and tired brigades who won’t even
step outside their doors on the election day.
He said that the party must take a cue from the recently concluded Ekiti
and Osun election, he posited that all hands must be on deck if indeed
the party want a resounding victory in 2019.
Adewale said that Nigerians will vote for PDP massively, “we must play
our own role to secure Atiku’s Victory by looking for a minimum of 50
strong, vibrant and honest people from each ward throughout the South
West to man our polling units
The PDP Chieftain said that it is obvious that some of the so called
leaders from the region are running from pillar to post just to be named
State Coordinators but cannot stake their personal finance to kick off
campaign but waiting for the “Atiku’s Money”, the same set of people
have their strong links and family members benefiting immensely from
Buhari’s government, how do we expect such people to work with all their
strength to ensure that Atiku emerge from the region? Adewale asked.
According to him, both Atiku and Buhari will share Northern votes, South
East and South South are for PDP but South West is the battle ground
and as such, credible people must be chosen to man all the States in the
region.
Adewale said that Lagos has over 5 million voters spread across the 20
local government and 37 LCDAs created by the State government, it’s a
peculiar State that needs men who can navigate it despite the structure
of the ruling APC.
Adewale who said his media statement is an SOS to Atiku and concerned
stakeholders at the party’s top hierarchy, to take note of the
perculiarity of Lagos State and South West as a whole.
