The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, broke down in tears in Jigawa.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, state government allegedly denied the PDP access to the stadium and another venue had to be arranged.
National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus told said that PDP was coming to power to put food on their tables and tackle hunger in the land.
“We are bringing in an energetic and competent person Atiku Abubakar with experience to tackle poverty created by the APC,” he said.
He told the crowd that their massive turn out at the rally was a clear indication that power is returning to the party and the state is already on the train to rescue Nigeria.
According to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office signed by Ike Abonyi, the National Chairman assured that Atiku Abubakar is energetic, ready and equipped to do the work.
He said that APC has failed Nigeria and should be thrown out as they have not been able to fulfill any of the promises they made in 2015.
“The choice before us is between competence and incompetence, between broken promises and a man ready and equipped for the job,” he said.
The former Governor of Jigawa state and a Presidential aspirant in the October 2018 Presidential primaries, Mallam Sule Lamido berated the APC administration for destroying Nigeria through their incompetence and lack of direction.
