Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, on Saturday, committed another gaffe at the party\u2019s campaign rally in Kogi state. <\/p>\n
At the rally held at the confluence stadium in Lokoja, the Kogi capital, Abubakar experienced a slip of the tongue and asked the party supporters to \u201cvote APC\u2026\u201d, before correcting himself and saying PDP.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople of Kogi state, we are here not to deceive you. We are men and women of integrity. I want to appeal to you that if you want your next state government to benefit you, vote APC\u2026 PDP in the presidential election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will see that by the time we come to conduct the governorship election, we will take over Kogi state and make sure we deliver good governance to all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The development comes weeks after Abubakar made a similar gaffe during the party\u2019s campaign rally at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium in Jos, the Plateau capital.<\/p>\n
While concluding his speech in Hausa, the PDP presidential candidate had said: \u201cFor God\u2019s sake and for the value of this place, ensure that you vote for A\u2026 I mean PDP this time around\u201d.<\/p>\n
Abubakar, who had earlier defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), rejoined the PDP in December 2017.<\/p>\n
