Bauchi Guber: Group To Mobilise A Million Votes For AVM Abubakar | Tellwell Newspaper
Tellwell Newspaper, Abuja – Nigeria:
From Ahmed Saka, Bauchi
A group called Marshall Support Group has announced plans to mobilise one million votes for the Bauchi State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar, in the 2023 elections.
President of the group, Hajiya Salma M Tukur, made the announcement at a contact and sensitisation meeting of stakeholders of the group in Bauchi.
“We are robust in our approach, we are doing our best to deliver one million votes to Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar, and ensure that we protect the votes so that he will win the election to become next Bauchi State Governor,” Salma said.
“we are re-strategising, we will visit all the wards and continuously lobby stakeholders and influencers in order to have a strong grip of the state and communities, in favour of our candidate,” she explained, adding that the group has also vowed to sway the entire Bauchi State voters for the APC during the gubernatorial election.
She recalled that during the 2019 Governorship election, PDP scored 515,113 while APC garnered 500,625 votes, but in 2015 APC polled
654,934, while PDP secured 282,650 votes. This, she said, was an indication, that with one million votes, Air Marshall’s victory is assured.
She said the group’s sensitization and campaign drive would focus on the grassroots through village-to-village and ward-to-ward aggressive mobilization to ensure that Sadique Abubakar secures over a million votes in Bauchi State in the forthcoming elections.
“We don’t see any obstacles in achieving this target because the APC candidate is accepted by the majority of voters who are mostly women and youth; he is the most experienced and most prepared to take the State out of its current woes,” the President said.
Speaking at the meeting, the APC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Alhaji Shehu Musa Barden Gabas, who represented Air Marshal Sadique at the occasion said “we are ready to take the State to the next height.”
He expressed his sincere appreciation for the overwhelming support they have been receiving from voters, promising to justify the confidence reposed in them.
