Ahead of the 2023 presidential election,, Osun state PDP, has become the first state chapter in the South West to launch the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council with the Governor-elect, former Senator Ademola Adeleke, describing Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the best and most qualified presidential candidate citing his manifesto and his experience.

The Governor –elect also gave reasons why Nigeria needs an Atiku presidency, urging the Council to deploy massively in order to deliver Osun State to the PDP at the Presidential, National Assembly and State Assembly elections.
‘Our victory at the governorship election will be incomplete unless we deliver at the federal level. As your Governor in Osun state, I need a President of our party at the federal level to support me as I deliver our five- point agenda to the good people of Osun State. An Atiku Presidency will strengthen our state and assist us to surmount the many challenges facing state governance.
Nigeria needs an Atiku presidency because he has the most updated, relevant and responsive manifesto among all the presidential candidates. His plans for Nigeria fits into the aspirations of Osun people for restructuring of the Federation, for local government autonomy, for anti-corruption, for better infrastructure, for national unity in diversity and for good governance.
Our votes must go for Atiku Abubakar because he is the most tested and trusted with a sterling record of performance in and out of government. A combination of Atiku Abubakar and Dr Okowa at the presidency will take Nigeria to a prosperous level locally and internationally’ he said.
‘Let us march out as we did during the governorship election to again win Osun with even bigger margins for the PDP’ the Governor-elect added.

Our task is well spelt out, which is to deliver your unit at all cost. We are to take the campaign to the grassroots and ensure that we turn out the votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
