THE Convener, Zege Mule U Tiv Vision, Evangelist Marti Acka, has stated that Nigerians have no reason not to vote for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking to newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, Marti Acka declared that Atiku is the only candidate among all the contestants that can be trusted to rescue the nation and restore it to the path of glory.
Acka, who noted that her group is the largest that is mobilizing support for Atiku in Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and Federal Capital Territory, FCT, said what Nigerians need and are looking for is a man who is competent and has the experience to deliver.
“There is no basis for comparison between Atiku, Obi and Tinubu. Everyone has the right to claim victory. Experience and competence are going to count. Trust will count and these other candidates do not have what it takes, there are many odds against them.
The evangelist who noted that Benue stands to benefit more with Atiku in the saddle said “I believe that Atiku will stop the killings and ensure that peace returns to Benue and Nigeria at large.
“Unemployment will be a thing of the past. His five-point agenda speaks for him in the area of education, economy, security, true federalism and infrastructural development. He is poised to bring about development and all that didn’t work will work again.
“He has the network outside the shores of this country. He will resuscitate moribund industries. It is not in doubt what he can do. Atiku has been here long enough to feel the pulse of the people.”
She said the PDP presidential candidacy of Atiku is already sold irrespective of the difference and squabble within the party saying Atiku has marketed himself very well. At any time, he is in a position to help, he does so.
“We are the largest support group for Atiku and he has reached out to every local government area in the state through the group. We have reached out beyond partisan level, to widows in the hinterlands, APC members, churches, among others.
“We went to Taraba State, Southern Taraba does not have water and the governor is from that area. He had gone to Taraba and sink boreholes.
“We have someone there who we want to pay allegiance to. We’re looking at people and what they have to deliver. Atiku has been a child of destiny. So many times you think that there is no way out for Atiku this time around. You think that he is finished but he keeps rebounding.
According to her, “Nigerians do not have any reason not to support him now. You are better off with one you know. I do not know Obi and he does not know me. Atiku has done so much for this nation. So you are better with the one you are familiar with, one you can go and be allowed in than someone you will go and wait at the gate.
“So we are taking the campaigns in the last lap to the ward level”, she added.
