The People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has again promised that if elected, his government will build inter-state roads and complete all hitherto neglected federal projects in Ekiti State.
The former Vice President made the promise in Ado Ekiti on Monday as he addressed a mammoth crowd of supporters that attended the PDP presidential rally at the Ekitiparapo Pavilion.
Atiku, who had earlier commiserated with the people of Iworoko and Ekiti State in general over an unfortunate accident that claimed several lives over the weekend also promised to restore quality education.
“I commit to you we will build the interstate roads and complete all federal projects not completed. We’ll restore quality education and we'll create more jobs. I also recommit 40% of my cabinet to youth and 30% to women”, Atiku said
He disclosed that traditional rulers made a case for the roads when he went to pay homage to the Ewi of Ado Ekiti where he was received by traditional rulers.
PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus expressed confidence as he called on Ekiti people to vote for the PDP. “We are going to win this election. Look at Atiku, he is tested and trusted in public and private sectors. He is a man that can turn economy around. He has the energy for the job.”
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki assured Ekiti people that Atiku would not promise and fail. “Atiku knows how to create jobs, secure the country and fight corruption”, he said.
The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Peter Ayodele Fayose also promised that Ekiti people will ‘deliver’ the necessary votes to ensure Atiku’s victory.
