Chairman, Atiku/Ombugadu Campaign Council in Nasarawa State, Senator Walid Jibrin has lauded the introduction of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) into election voting process in the country, saying it is a solution to election rigging in 2023.
Jibrin, who is a former Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP, stated this, yesterday, during the party’s campaign in Akwanga Local Government Area of the state.
He said BVAS would curtail electoral fraud in the general elections as it would make the electorate votes count.
He therefore urged electorate to vote Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as Nigeria’s president, Dr David Ombugadu as governor of Nasarawa State and all other PDP candidates in 2023.
He said Atiku would rescue Nigeria from its current socio-economic challenges.
“A vote for Atiku/Okowa will rescue Nigeria from its present challenges and a vote for Ombugadu/Ohinoyi will bring speedy development across the state. A vote for all of our PDP candidates will enable all of us enjoy the much needed dividends of democracy,” he said.
Director-General of Atiku/Ombugadu Campaign Council in Nasarawa State, Mr. Labaran Maku described Nasarawa North as a home of PDP while assuring that the zone would deliver Atiku, Ombugadu and all other party candidates in the polls.
Maku, who hail from Akwanga zone and former Minister of Information, said PDP would tackle insecurity and promote peace in the state and country at large, if voted.
He urged those who are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards ( PVCs) to do so in order to vote out APC government at the national and state levels.
David Ombugadu, the PDP governorship candidate in the state, promised to prioritise security, health, water, education and other infrastructure, if elected governor.
Ombugadu urged the electorate to have confidence in PDP, pledging that the party would not fail the people.
The PDP governorship flagbearer also promised to prioritise women and youths empowerment under his reign.
