            Chairman, PDP, Edo State

 Aziegbemin who made the call while inaugurating the 530 members of the state campaign council of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential election on Friday, 21 October in Benin City the Edo State capital, made a passionate appeal to the members of the campaign council  to endeavour to mobilize other members and supporters to the PDP presidential rally holding at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday, 22 October;

 He further told the members of the  presidential campaign council to take  full control at each rally  by ensuring orderliness at the venue.

In his remarks, Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki , who is the chairman of the campaign council said  the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is coming to salvage Nigeria, insisting that only politicians of the PDP extraction have what it takes to rescue Nigeria from it's present economic crisis.

According to the Governor, "each time I've had the privilege to talk to our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, he always referred us back to what happened in 1999. He said don't forget when we took over in 1999 Nigeria was as divided as it is today. 

"The military had been there for a long time, the democractic culture had ceased. 
He said the same strategy we used then, we will make sure we will deploy it this time.
 "You may not remember the economy of Nigeria was in shambles in 1999, oil production and prices had collapsed,they came in; himself and General Obasanjo. "

"He was in charge of the economy at that time. All the things that came Nigeria way, all the debt relief that came our way had his input," Obaseki said.



The National Organising Secretary of the PDP, Alhaji Umar Bature noted that with what he saw at the inauguration of the campaign council, Edo PDP is one. 

He urged members of the PDP to channel their energy to the campaign with a view to winning the presidential election since there is no governorship election in the state.
