Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reiterated his commitment to unite the country and pave the way for wealth creation if elected president in the 2023 general elections.

Mr Abubakar made the promise on Monday during the inauguration of the campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Ranchers Bees Stadium, Kaduna.

According to Mr Abubakar, his administration will be committed to uniting Nigerians and building a solid economy that supports jobs and wealth creation.

He also stated that his administration would focus on restructuring to allow a more stable political structure that guaranteed effective governance at all levels.

“We shall be committed to building national unity, and I promise to unite the country for growth and development,” he added.

The PDP flagbearer, who asked Nigerians to vote for his party, said it would return to unity and prosperity, adding that there would be no more hunger and insecurity.

“Our mission is to reinforce Nigeria’s Unity by promoting the spirit of cooperation and consensus among its heterogeneous peoples,” Mr Abubakar added.

Others, including former Vice President Namadi Sambo, Dino Melaye and Governor Aminu Tambuwal, all stressed that the PDP was determined to restore Nigeria to a desirable state.

They, however, urged the people to join the rescue train of the PDP, to actualise victory in the 2023 general elections.

The occasion witnessed an unprecedented turnout of people.
