The South South Zonal office of the Atiku Support Organisation, ASO, has unveiled a 19-member state team and 25 local government coordinators to rally support for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in Delta State, TrackNews reports.
Dr. Nkechi Enumah-Chukura, South South Zonal Coordinator, spoke at the ceremony and congratulated the group on Atiku’s victory in the PDP presidential primaries and the selection of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.
Enumah-Chukura, who also inaugurated Samuel Askia Jr. and his state executive, charged the coordinators with transporting party leaders, women’s and youth groups, and ensuring they have a voter’s card.
“We are here as directed by our amiable Director General, Abubakar Babawo, who mandated the inauguration of this 19-man State Exco and 25 LGA ASO Ambassadors, whose first task will be to come up with LGA and wards Exco lists before Friday,” she said, flanked by the five state coordinators.
“As ASO Ambassadors, the success or failure of our main goal to Aso Rock is entirely dependent on all of us.” We all know that Nigeria’s economic viability cannot be complete without Atiku, and the judicial jurisprudence that has tested the constitution and our laws cannot be complete without Atiku.
“We encourage you to give your all and to justify this responsibility by ensuring that our women, youth groups, and associations are genuinely carried along, so they can understand your intentions.”
In his remarks, state Coordinator of the support group, Askia Jr., thanked all members present for their contributions thus far, saying, “It is a journey that has begun, and believes that they own the project.”
In his goodwill message, Cross River State coordinator Princewill Etung said, “Again, we have an opportunity to put Nigeria on the right track.” Atiku is made of a solid base and is not a vapour, but rather an actual substance.”
Mr. Israel Abosi, who administered the oath of office, stated, “God has given the PDP the wisdom of presenting candidates who will not cause us marketing problems.” So, the work you must do is to return to your Local Government Areas and educate people about the importance of what God has given us.”
