Osun: The Ship Of Hope Is Already At The Harbour – Atiku Says 

BY SEGUN ADEBAYO, ABUJA – The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar on Sunday declared that the referendum on the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commenced with the verdict of the people of Osun State in electing Senator Ademola Adeleke as Governor.

This was as he said that with the victory of Senator Adeleke, the ship of hope is already at the harbour under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Atiku said that at this point in time when the country needs to take a break from the shameful effects of bad governance, it shall be on record that Osun State provided the compass into that brighter future that awaits us at the horizon.
The former Vice President in a congratulatory statement to the Osun Governor-elect he personally signed, noted that Nigerians are in the know that 2023 general election will be a full referendum, stressing it is inconceivable that Nigerians will reward the APC for the failings of the last seven years.

He explained that another good side about the victory in Osun is the fact that it has provided a catalyst for the PDP to see the opportunity when the party works together in unity, adding that the work to bring the PDP together is a work in progress.

In the words of Atiku; “And the good news is that we are steadily making progress.
“And in a state like Osun, for example, it’s been a long time since the people last felt the effect of good governance.
“I have always had affection for the people of Osun State for obvious reasons. Yes, my wife hails from there, but if you have to walk a difficult path and you need men and women of courage and astute valour, the people of Osun will never be a disappointment.
“The ship of hope is already at the harbour under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party. We shall intensify the work to ensure that we uproot all vestiges of bad governance and false hopes towards the 2023 election.

“The Imole (light) that has started to shine from Osun shall soon have a national coverage.
“As you wake up the morning after (Sunday, the 17th of July, 2022), you may be assured that you are doing so with the illumination that has come to Osun. “Congratulations to Sen. Ademola Adeleke, on a well-fought victory. Also, hearty congratulations to the  PDP family and all stakeholders who came together to make this sweet victory possible. But even more importantly, congratulations to the great people of Osun State for proving that power truly belongs to the people.
“The march to reclaim Nigeria’s greatness has begun and it shall not stop until we achieve the goal of ONE PEOPLE, ONE FUTURE and ONE COUNTRY,” Atiku said.
