Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday, visited Lagos state to see things for himself.

In a video by Mr Eta Uso, his Special Assistant on Digital Media and Operations, the presidential candidate noted that although campaigns had not started, he was astounded by the large multitude of party supporters in Lagos who trooped out en mass to welcome him in the state.

Atiku, who was amazed by the massive number of supporters, was in Lagos to attend the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) 2022 edition of the Private Sector Economic Forum for the 2023 presidential election, and the Nigerian Guild of Editors’ Forum on the 2023 general elections and a PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Ikeja.

The cheerful multitude of party leaders and members gathered, singing and dancing as they welcomed Atiku.

Meanwhile, expressing his satisfaction over the large number of supporters, the Wazirin Adamawa said he has never seen Lagos state so mobilized like he saw on Tuesday.

“I have come to see for myself that PDP is on ground in Lagos State, and I have seen things for myself.

“Now, in all my political career, we are the people who established PDP, I have never seen Lagos state so mobilised like this.”

He said with the massive support he is seeing from the state, he believes that PDP will win Lagos in the coming presidential election in Nigeria.

“This makes me believe that this electoral time, PDP is going to win Lagos. I believe you are going to win Lagos state this time around.”

“Therefore, we are ready to support you to any level to make sure that you win Lagos state. You know, when I say I am going to do something, bring the sky down, I will make sure I do it.

“Therefore, I want you to work harder, we will cooperate with you, we will support you and protect you to make sure that this time around, you win Lagos state.”

“That makes me believe that this time around ‘Jandor’ (PDP governorship candidate) is going to be the next governor of Lagos state. You will see what we are going to do when the campaigns start.”

Olajide Adediran (Jandor) is the governorship candidate of PDP in Lagos State.
