People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Youth Mobiliser for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential ticket in Lagos State and the South West, Mr. Elliot Imoloamen, has stated that the South West will benefit more under the Party’s candidates, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa if voted into power.
Imoloamen made the remark recently in Lagos, while shedding light on the numerous advantages of an Atiku/Okowa ticket for the region.
According to him, a vote for the PDP ticket would mark a significant departure from the present situation in the country, which according to him, is very unpleasant to say the least.
Imoloamen is of the opinion that today in Nigeria, there is so much pain and suffering; so much anguish among the people, adding the citizens are lamenting the precarious situation the present APC government has put the nation in.
He, therefore, calls on the people to put their money where their mouth is, as it were, by joining the PDP to vote out the current government run by the APC at the 2023 polls.

The youth mobiliser stressed that in the South-West especially, the youths need to rise up and use their votes to change the narrative and create a proper and hopeful future for themselves.
“The youths in the South-West, just as those in the entire nation, have been lamenting and crying foul. Many are joining the bandwagon of the “Japa” syndrome. None of them wants to stay back in the country because they have totally lost faith in the country. They see no hope and no future in this country. This is what the APC has done to our youths and people,” he said.
He added: “I’m using this medium to call on the youths, especially those of the South-West, to ensure that they get their PVCs and come out en-mass to vote out this apology of a government.
“The track record of Atiku and Okowa is second to none. First, look at what Okowa has achieved in Delta. His government has continually restated its commitment to educational development in the state. During his time, teachers have been trained and are being retrained on a continuous basis.
Imoloamen said with respect to revenue generation, Okowa’s government was committed to meeting revenue targets and increasing IGR.
He further said: “Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, understand the issues more than other party candidates and have articulated a policy document “My Covenant With Nigerians” to address the myriad of challenges bedeviling the country. ”

Imoloamen stated that Atiku was bringing on board his wealth of experience as a successful businessman, a former Vice President and Chairman, National Economic Council, to bear on the job if elected President in 2023.
He said Atiku Abubakar represents a whole lot of positives for the country because he is that candidate that towers far above all the candidates in terms of capacity to govern, understanding of the issues and mental alertness.
“He has the requisite experience to deal with insecurity, economy recovery, bringing back jobs, infrastructural development and of course the need to unify the country. We believe that Atiku is that man who has all the capability to function effectively and sufficiently equipped to reasonably address all the issues plaguing the nation.”
