Legit.ng gathers that Atiku stated that his commitment to restructuring the country would bring enormous benefits to the state.
He urged the people of the state to support the party to return to power at the centre and all levels of governance in the state; pointing out that landmark development projects in the state were achieved under successive PDP administrations.
He said: “I have been coming to this state since 1998. Every development you are seeing here is the work of PDP – the schools, the hospitals, the roads, the factories and many others.
