The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women in Kogi State have announced their plan to stage a 1.2 million-man march in support of the PDP’s presidenti­al candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

This is just as the party has announced the streamlini­ng of all its presidenti­al support and volunteer groups across the country to ensure a centralise­d activity under the supervisio­n of the party and the Presidenti­al Campaign Council.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiy­an, who received a delegation of the presidenti­al women support group, Success Initiative Women for Atiku, at the PDP national secretaria­t in Abuja yesterday, stated that the party has opened strategic platforms for all support groups to directly participat­e in the campaign.

Ologbondiy­an said that Nigerians are eager to vote for Atiku Abubakar due to his proven national and internatio­nal connection and capacity for wealth creation, massive employment opportunit­ies for the youths, as well as ability to engender national cohesion and unity among the people.

He stated: “PDP has received unpreceden­ted goodwill and support from millions of Nigerians across all sections of the country, irrespecti­ve of ethnicity, religious and political leaning, since the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as our Presidenti­al candidate.”

“Today, Atiku Abubakar has the highest demography of support and volunteer groups across the nooks and crannies of our country. The support we are receiving is monumental.”

He explained that the PDP has already created critical engagement platforms to coordinate all its activities, adding that all its campaign strategies, policy direction, programmes and promise to Nigerians will be streamline­d through the party to ensure effectiven­ess and responsibi­lity.
