Commercial activities were temporarily put on hold
just as there was traffic gridlock in the Bauchi
metropolis as the presidential candidate of the
main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Atiku Abubakar stormed Bauchi where he received
142,000 defectors from various political parties
into the party..

The Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Memorial Stadium
was filled to capacity during the program which
was held on Wednesday and attended by thousands
of members of the party from across the 20 local
government areas of the state

The defectors included the majority of the
members of the Bauchi State House of Assembly
led by the Speaker, Abubakar Y Suleiman as well
as other notable politicians in the state led by the
former Deputy Governor, Arch Abdul Sule Katagum
and former gubernatorial aspirant of the APC, Faruk
Mustapha who is the Director-General of the PDP
gubernatorial campaign Council.

While addressing the massive crowd that thronged
the Stadium, Atiku Abubakar congratulated the
defectors for turning a new page in their political
career, saying that it was a good development that
will bring a lot of gains for the PDP in 2023.

According to him, “We are here today to celebrate
this great achievement in Bauchi State. I can recall
the last time I was here, I saw the development the
state recorded in all sectors and this stride was
achieved under the administration of Bala
Mohammed of the PDP”

He also said that “Now you have a government that
is always progressing, but you should always have
this at the back of your mind that the politics in the
North started from Bauchi State, that is why you
must not treat Bauchi politics with levity.”

Atiku Abubakar added that “Today, we recorded
another achievement of additional people to the
party, but this is not the main campaign, we will
still come back again, we came solely to receive
our brethren who decamped from the APC.”

He then assured us that the campaign train will be
back to Bauchi in a bigger way because according
to him, “We are here today just to receive and
welcome into the fold, defectors from various
political parties as well as to meet with PDP
stakeholders in the state to chart away for victory in
the 2023 General elections.”

In his brief remarks, the National Chairman of the
PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, while receiving the defectors
said that the North-East subregion has not yet
produced a President, “but today, God has chosen
Atiku Abubakar who is a son of the North-East to
correct all the challenges bedevilling the nation and
unify it.”

He then assured all the defectors that they will
enjoy a level playing ground within the party at all
levels, saying that, “the PDP train is moving
forward, hence everybody should come on board.”

Speaking earlier, Bauchi State Governor, Sen Bala
Mohammed Abdulkadir assured that he will deliver
the state to the PDP in all the elective offices
telling the Presidential candidate to count Bauchi
State as one of the states he will get massive
votes.

The Governor further extolled the good leadership
qualities of the presidential candidate of the party
saying that he has what it takes to rule and unify
Nigerians considering his nationwide connection
and association.

Other speakers including the PDP presidential
Campaign DG, Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of
Sokoto state, Sen Abdul Ahmed Ningi, Campaign
Council Spokesperson, Dino Melaye and others
expressed confidence that the PDP will win the
2023 General elections convincingly.

Atiku Abubakar who visited the state for the first
time after emerging as the flag-bearer of the PDP
in the presidential primaries held in Abuja was
received by thousands of supporters of the People
Democratic Party (PDP) and members of the
Progressives Congress (APC) in the state who
decamped to the PDP.

From the Bauchi international Airport, Atiku
Abubakar and the entourage proceeded to the Emir
of Bauchi Palace for a courtesy call before heading
for the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.

The structures and strong hold that Obi does not have. Bala Mohamed organized it . PDP and APC controls all States political offices.
Uzodinma Organized the Imo women.

Obi is a failure.

Igbos should prepare for Biafra or death.
