The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, has called for the support of the South-East, saying he is the region’s surest route to the Presidency.

He made the comment while addressing party supporters during his campaign rally in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

The former Vice President told the gathering that he is going to be a stepping stone to an Igbo President in the country, stressing that he is running for the third time with an Igbo man.

Atiku also promised to revive industries in the region, vowing to dredge the River Niger to boost economic activities.

His running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, who accompanied him to the rally, said his principal is the best option for Nigeria.
