“Nigeria is facing a lot of challenges. We need a Nigerian that is experienced, mature, competent, tested and has all it takes to unify the country,” Dokpesi said.
“This country needs to be restructured. It needs to be reorganised, and we need somebody who is going to look at Nigeria fairly and justly, and give the people new hope.
“By the grace of God, Atiku Abubakar and the PDP will provide the leadership that will take us out of this mess,” Dokpesi maintained.
Receiving the SNG team at the state PDP secretariat, the state party chairman Francis Orogu said Nasarawa State is desperate to see somebody who has the capacity to redress the mess in the Aso Rock.
“And we believe that Atiku is the man among many who is more than qualified to do this job. Therefore, having people like him in the contest for this position is going to give the party a lot of credit and hope.
“Believing that Nigerians are going to choose the best, Atiku Abubakar is one of the best this country can provide as president,” Orogu said.
