In anticipation of the upcoming Sept. 19 governorship poll, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has donated his 150 support groups to Gov. Godwin Obaseki’s governorship campaign organisation in Edo to help him out in his campaign.
The statement cited Atiku Abubakar as charging the 150 independent support groups in Edo to be activated in support of Obaseki, PDP’s flag bearer in the election with immediate effect.
The statement was issued by Mr Oladimeji Fabiyi, Deputy Director of the inoperative Atiku Support Group Presidential Campaign Organisation.
The statement read: “The former Vice President, as a major stakeholder of the PDP, considers it expedient to put in place winning structures and machinery that will guarantee total victory for the party in Edo.”
“We need to complete the circle in the south-south region that naturally and originally belonged the PDP.”
“Having received the directive with joy and enthusiasm, I have no doubt that all our support groups in Edo will be very glad to receive this news and run with the directive of Atiku Abubakar for the benefit of Obaseki and the PDP,”
