The former vice president of the country also took time to briefly highlight the five point agenda contained in his manifesto, namely: unifying the country, fighting insecurity, growing the economy, providing quality education and restructuring the polity. And while commending the party faithful who were at Ox-bow lake venue of the event for their patience and hospitality, he reminded them that Bayelsa has always been for PDP and that PDP will not disappoint the good people of Bayelsa when they regain power again.

The highpoint of the occasion attended by the party bigwigs within and outside the state was the defection of thousands of All Progressives Congress (APC) members who were former members of PDP back to the party. And speaking on behalf of the returnees, their leaders, Hon. Woma Ogoriba, two-time former member of Federal House of Representatives, Dr. Princewill Ikpagara and Chief Prieye Olomu pledged their loyalty and support to Atiku and the PDP.
