says Alhaji Atiku Abubakar stands a better chance of winning the Presidential election by virtue of his pedigree, exposure and experience.
The women made the remark while speaking to newsmen during the walk/drive through Lagos organised for Atiku/Okowa campaign in Lagos.
They said that the PDP presidential candidate who was also former Vice President of Nigeria, would put things right if elected as president.
Speaking, Mrs Aduke Maina, member of the Board of Trustees (BoT), described Atiku as the man that has what it takes to make the country work.
She, therefore, urged the people to vote for him as the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We are here to tell the people of Lagos and by extension Nigeria that Atiku is the right man to hold this country together.
“He knows what it takes to make the country work. This he has done before, especially as the former Vice president of the country.
“There is no difference between the North and South, East or West. All we want is for the country to function well and things to be put right.
“Now that the PDP has chosen Atiku as their presidential candidate, lets vote for him,” she said.
Similarly, Dr Bimbola Ogunkemi, also a member of the BOT said Nigeria was ripe for a new government, adding that the All Progressive Congress (APC) brought a negative change to the country.
Ogunkemi assured that PDP would ensure that the issues of insecurity and poverty are addressed because the party had been positioned to take the chance to make things right.
She said: “This is the time Nigeria should rise again. We are ready for a positive change and a new government come Saturday.”
Also speaking, Mr Tunji Shelle, Former Lagos PDP Chairman, described Atiku as an experienced candidate, who has what it takes to turn the fortune of Nigeria around.
According to him, Nobody is perfect, but as at today, he is the best candidate that can make a change in the evolution of this country.
“Nigeria needs to be recovered and rescued. It is time to move away from the past,” he said.
On her part, Mrs Agboola Fisher-Thomas, member of the PCC, lamented that under the current administration, the education sector had decayed, while the economy was in comatose.
She stated that the focus of the PDP was to get about 35 per cent of votes in Lagos
