“I don’t think APC would survive after this election, we are going to vote them out and by the time we vote them out, they will be dead.”
He noted that PDP members, particularly young people, should be happy to be PDP members because it is the only genuine and longest-lasting political party in Nigeria.
Atiku said, “We are 25 years now, so we have succeeded in laying the foundation for a sustained Democracy in our country.
“You have a legacy to be proud of by being a member of this political party. Let me therefore charge you with the responsibility of making sure that you carry the message of the PDP to the nooks and crannies of the country.
“Let me congratulate the members of the PDP Youth Campaign Youth Council on their today’s inauguration,” the candidate stated, speaking directly to the council’s members.

He added, “The message of Sustained democracy, this democracy for which some of us have battled all our lives, is fundamental.

Speaking about his five-point plan to save Nigeria, he stated, “If you analyze those issues from National Unity to security to education, you’ll find out that they symbiotically interconnect with one another.
“Therefore, I want assure you that no matter your background PDP will help you to achieve your aspirations in this country. Even if Atiku goes another Atiku will come.
“The members here are representative of the youths across the country who are in millions, who are the most voters in this country, you have a responsibility and it is not a small one.
“Each and every one of you should go back to your state, local Government, wards and polling units and mobilize the youths. Give them hope that all is not lost.
