2023: Atiku unveils youth-driven ‘Operation Rescue Nigeria’ project

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has unveiled the ‘Operation Rescue Nigeria’ project ahead of the 2023 elections.

 

The project was unveiled on Saturday at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.

While urging PDP chieftains and members to firm up mobilisation at the grassroots, the former vice-president said the party’s campaign strategy will be polling unit-based, in line with the new electoral process.

 

“As you know, our current electoral process is devolved in the polling unit. We don’t want you in Abuja. We don’t want you even in your state, we want you in your polling booths. Go and deliver it to us. Protect the votes and deliver it to us there,” he said.

 

Speaking at the event, Ifeanyi Okowa, the PDP vice-presidential candidate, called for support to enable Atiku undo the insecurity and welfare challenges facing the nation.

 

“In troubled times such as we experience today, we need the guidance of those who have been tested; a man with a nationalistic personnel to secure and not to destroy us and to prosper our people yet again,” he said.

 

The ‘Operation Rescue Nigeria’ project, according to the PDP, is a strategy the party hopes to use to mobilise support for next year’s elections.
