Why Nigerians Should Vote for Atiku, says Prof Abubakar

The founder of Professor Hafiz Abubakar Support Group for Atiku/Okowa Presidential Ticket, Professor Hafiz Abubakar has been quite active in recent times with regards to campaigning for Atiku Abubakar to be the next president of Nigeria.

In a statement by Nura Garba, Director Media and Publicity of the Professor Hafiz Abubakar Support Group, on Sunday said the former Deputy Governor of Kano State had recently established the support group to vigorously campaign and solicit the votes of Nigerians to support the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and Okowa as President and Vice President, respectively.

He also said not only that, Professor Hafiz Abubakar inaugurated coordinators from 44 local governments of Kano State who have also inaugurated their leadership and sub-coordinators working day and night to woo the attention of voters who have been aggrieved by the policies and inaction of the APC- led administration.

“The Support Group itself has carefully chosen its directors and leaders from all facets including academics, professionals, Islamic clerics, frontline politicians, women, seasoned journalists and vibrant youth some of whom were student leaders while in school.”

He added that, It would be recalled that when the Support Group was launched in January, many people were surprised to see the thousands of teeming youth and elderly people that stormed the venue, noting that it was a glimmer of hope that Atiku’s popularity in Kano is gaining more grounds.

The Group Director, pointed out that, Professor Hafiz Abubakar led the team members of his Support Group to visit Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in his residence of Maitama in Abuja last week and reiterated his determination and commitment to support him as the next president and he told him that a structure of 44 local government was formed in that direction and coordinators across the local governments are working day and night.

He said the Support Group was working as an interventionist that intervenes to help and assist Nigerians on the right candidate. He said based on the assessment, the Support Group would only support Atiku/Okowa’s candidature.

“Atiku Abubakar was indeed overwhelmed with the visit and expressed happiness over the team of professionals assembled by the Support Group and believed that Prof Abubakar would play a critical role in campaign activities and that the Support Group was duly recognized as a vital stakeholder in his campaign team.”

“Not only that, the same day , Professor Hafiz Abubakar led his team to visit Senator Ibrahim Shekarau in his residence in Kano and told him about the structure of the Support Group and told him the efforts being made to support Atiku Abubakar”

According to him, Shekarau said that his relationship with Professor Abubakar has been for many years and he knows the contributions that the former deputy governor could offer.

He assured that the Support Group would be part and parcel of every campaign strategies of Atiku/Okowa movement

“On 31st of January, 2023, Professor Hafiz Abubakar was at the Express FM one of the famous Radio stations in Kano and spoke boldly to the entire people of Kano State on why they should vote for Atiku Abubakar ahead of all other candidates.”

He added that Atiku’s reign as Vice President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 gave him an enormous edge to know the country’s perennial challenges which Atiku could tackle head on.

“Nigeria has been faced with the challenges of insecurity posed by dreaded insurgency in the North-east.

“The region was ravaged by Boko Haram’s deadly attacks which affected millions of people and hundreds of thousands of people were killed, displaced, maimed or psychologically traumatized.

“The good news for Nigerians according Professor Hafiz Abubakar is that Atiku Abubakar, the son of the Northeast would do whatever he can to bring the lasting solutions to the security challenges not only in the Northeast, but across the country. His penchant for peaceful Nigeria is one of the topmost priorities in his agenda.”

He further said what will further entice Nigerians to vote for Atiku is his clean bill of health in terms of financial misappropriation in Nigeria as records have shown that the PDP flag-bearer has never been charged by EFCC as against what some opposition parties are saying. And looking at his impeccable record from 1999 to 2007 when he held sway as Vice President, there was no any prima-facie evidence to show against him. This is a good record that all Nigerians should be proud of.

He further revealed that in his address to Kano people, Professor Hafiz told the residents that the imbroglio Nigerians have found themselves as a result of inappropriate policies and maladministration of the current APC led administration is enough for Nigerians to make self-judgment by voting out APC and vote for Atiku Abubakar. Nigerians have been put into untold hardship and only those who know the root of the country’s problems like Atiku can bail it out of the present predicament.

While in government, Atiku was chairing the country’s economic council that included 36 state Governors, Finance Minister, Governor of Central Bank, FCT Minister etc. The meetings with these crops of economic team had groomed and prepared Atiku to know the pros and cons of the country’s economic and financial crisis that if given the opportunity, he would overturn the fortune of Nigeria as the Africa’s best and largest economic power house.

It is only those who know the terrain and challenges that can provide the cutting-edge solutions. This is one of the prospects of Atiku Abubakar, which Professor Abubakar took time to explain to Kano and Nigerians at large.

According to Professor Abubakar, the sole objective of establishing Professor Hafiz Support Group for Atiku/Okowa was to enlighten Nigerians about the quality and prospects of the PDP Presidential flag-bearer and why Nigerians should vote for him to salvage the country from the dwindling economic and security problems.

He said the Support Group had spread its tentacles across all the nooks and crannies of the Kano’s 44 Local Government to tell the youth, women, elders and all the concerned people that Atiku is the best candidate.

Having spent 42 years in the teaching profession from Polytechnic to University in which he taught over 10,000 students and who by now have extended families, Professor Abubakar passionately appealed to all of them including their families, offsprings, neighbours, brothers, sisters, associates and every resident in the state to take this advantage to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming Presidential election on 25th February, 2023.

He stressed that with the caliber of high profile politicians in Kano state in the campaign team of Atiku Abubakar such as His Excellency, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau, the Ambassador Aminu Wali, Senator Bello Hayatu Gwarzo, Hon Ghali Umar Naabba, Ibrahim El-Aminu little, Baraka Mohammed, Hajiya Najaatu Mohammed and many others too numerous to be listed, Professor Hafiz Abubakar believes that PDP has the war chest to win Kano people.

The Support Group’s media team has been flooding Kano state with jingles and radio programmes painting Kano State’s political landscape.

According to Professor Hafiz Abubakar, his Support Group would continue to give all the necessary contributions and flinching support to ensure that Atiku Abubakar becomes the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
