He thanked delegates from Delta for the support given to him at the Port Harcourt convention in 2019 and appealed to them to vote for him in the PDP presidential convention billed for 28 and 29, this month in Abuja.

Alhaji Abubakar said the issue of power rotation was enshrined in the party's constitution, pointing out that what the PDP needed at this time was to grab the power before entrenching rotation.

"We want to thank you very much indeed particularly for the support that we received from Delta in the last primaries that took place in Port Harcourt. We cherished that support and we value that support and we shall not forget that support.

"Having said that, we have come to another season of elections in the country but this season is unique because Nigeria has never found itself in this type of situation facing numerous challenges.

"First of all, l identified the lack of unity in our country today. Why lack of unity because we have the government of APC which does not identify with our diversity, which does not respect our diversity and governs as if we all don't matter.

"And as a result of that, we have a very divided country and l said l will tackle this disunity on the first day of my presidency if elected."
