Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State on Thursday rounded off its rallies ahead of Saturday's presidential and National Assembly elections in a grand style.

The last set of the rally, which held at various locations within the Ilorin West Local Government Area where the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, hails from was described by party supporters as the mother of all rallies.

At every point of the campaign, the PDP’s campaign team was received by the mammoth crowd of party supporters and members.

The Senate president personally led the campaign train and was accompanied by Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Dr Ali Ahmad, Director General of the PDP campaign council, Professor Abubakar Sulyman and the state’s party Chairman, Engineer Kola Shittu.

It took Saraki and his entourage hours to move from one location to another as residents trooped out in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the Senate president, hailing the candidates and PDP stalwarts.

The daughter of the Emir of Ilorin, Princess Aisha Sulu-Gambari, who is a House of Assembly candidate added colour to the campaign rally as she was accompanied by about 20 horse riders.

Saraki, who was apparently impressed by the large turn out of the party supporters, asked the people to come out en masse to vote for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and all the party's candidates in the National Assembly elections.

"If you deliver to PDP on Saturday, your votes will be our negotiating power with the incoming government of Atiku Abubakar."

"He is the only one that understands how to create wealth, he understands how to drive the economy and create jobs for the youths," he said.

Also speaking, the party’s governorship candidate, Hon. Razak Atunwa assured that his government will create jobs, improve infrastructure and uplift the standard of living of all Kwarans.
