He, however, informed them that the PDP has announced the streamlining of all its presidential support and volunteer groups across the country, to ensure a centralized activity under the supervision of the party and the Presidential Campaign Council.
According to him, the party has opened strategic platforms for all support groups to directly participate in the campaign.
He said the 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.”
Ologbondiyan said Nigerians are eager to vote in 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.
While urging Nigerians to disregard the smear campaigns by the Buhari presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC), the PDP spokesman assured that the PDP will run an issue based campaign with all support groups streamlined for coordinated action.
He further 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.
