2023 Presidency: Atiku tells PDP members the criteria he will use to give out appointments and contracts if he wins

• PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has called on party members to ensure they hand over their voting units in the upcoming elections.
• The former vice president said a key condition for giving out appointments and contracts if he wins are the results of members’ polling stations.
• Atiku made the comment on Wednesday, January 18, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during a town hall meeting with stakeholders.

Abeokuta, Ogun State – Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, says all party members must show the election results of their voting units to win appointments and contracts if he is elected as the next president.

This was said by the former vice president on Wednesday, January 18, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during a town hall meeting with stakeholders, according to a report submitted by Daily trust.

According to Atiku, if PDP members and leaders deliver in their voting units, the PDP will easily win the presidential election.

“You are all PDP members and PDP supporters, you want the PDP back in power, please I beg you, make sure you win your ballot box,” Atiku said in response to questions from the audience.

“The fact that you are following the gubernatorial candidate or the Senate candidate or the House candidate or the presidential candidate on the campaign trail is not a qualification that you will get an appointment. It is not a qualification that will get a contract either at the local, state or federal level of government.

“The only way as far as I’m concerned, if I’m president, if you come and say you want a job or you want a contract, I’ll ask you to leave me the result of your polling place and that’s what I’m going to direct everyone. because if we don’t do that we won’t win the elections.
