Oyo State Chapter of National Mandate Group led by Ex Minister of State FCT, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide has thrown weight behind the aspiration of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for presidency.
.
According to its release, “after extensive deliberation today 3rd of November, 2022 at Ibadan, Oyo State, We, the
NATIONAL MANDATE GROUP (OYO CHAPTER) under the flagship of Oloye Olajumoke Akinjide , Former Minister of state FCT, being PDP Leaders & Members who have
joined together in support of our Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar GCON, Waziri
Adamawa, wish to state/clarify our position concerning the upcoming 2023 General Elections as
follows:
“First and Foremost, We appreciate the good people of Oyo State for considering our Party, the
PDP, as the best option and voting for our Candidates in both the Gubernatorial and the
Presidential elections in 2019, and for your continued and undiminished support thereafter.
We give our wholehearted and unshakeable resolve and commitment to support the
Presidential Candidate of our Party, the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar GCON, and indeed, all
other PDP Candidates during the upcoming 2023 general elections.
” We are confident that
Atiku Abubakar is the best qualified leader to rescue, reform and restore Nigeria to greatness.
The NMG (OYO STATE CHAPTER) as PDP Leaders & Members hereby vehemently refute,
disown and deny any suggestion that the Oyo State PDP will support any candidate other than
Atiku Abubakar for the Presidency of Nigeria.
“We deeply abhor and frown at any denigration or use of our Oyo State Anthem, of which we are
justly proud, and which is the heritage of all Oyo State citizens regardless of religious or political
affiliation, to imply support for any candidate whosoever vying for political office.
It is totally unacceptable and demeaning to reduce the Oyo State Anthem in the service of mere
partisan politics. Our State Anthem speaks of our rich and God given frontline position as the
Pathfinder State and should remain inviolable and unsullied. Indeed,
“Ipo Asiwaju l’Edumare fun wa
Ni ipinle Oyo!”
Once again, We reiterate our total support for our Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, the only Candidate with the competence for the herculean task to fix Nigeria and
correct the disastrous 8 years of APC misrule. We urge the good people of Oyo State to vote for
the PDP all the way down the Ballot.
