Amalgamated Atiku Support Group (AASG), a group canvassing support for the emergence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as president in 2023, on Tuesday says it has commenced registration for support groups across the country and in the diaspora who believe in the ideals of the former Vice-President.

In a statement signed by its Director-General, Hon. Oladimeji Fabiyi, the group said it has embarked on capacity building for its workforce whose number is over 800,000.

The statement reads: “With the recent peaceful and successful completion of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention, all is now set for political machinery to be put in place to ensure that respective aspirations emerge victorious in the 2023 general elections.

“Amalgamated Atiku Support Group (AASG) is a coordinating and umbrella body set up to coordinate the activities of support groups interested in volunteering to work with His Excellency Atiku Abubakar in the bid to actualise his aspiration to salvage Nigeria come 2023”.

“The AASG, as part of its mandate, has commenced registration of identified and prequalified support groups nationwide and in the diaspora.

To effectively carry out this mandate, AASG has embarked on a capacity-building programme for its workforce that currently stands at over 800,000.

It plans to start training the first batch comprising 20,000 volunteers in a train-the-trainers programme in the next few days.

AASG has engaged the services of a world-class organization that is a household name in educational services in Nigeria and Africa in general.

The training is aimed at improving the social media skills of its workforce, reducing downtime, reducing the cost of management, onboarding a workforce in tune with technological advancement in the 21st century and ensuring that synergy and teamwork are further enhanced.

The training speaks volumes to the unique leadership style Nigerians hope to see come 2023 under the leadership of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar. The majority of the volunteers already working in the field and online are youths. This underscores the fact that youths are behind the drive for the former Vice President to come onboard come 2023 to salvage Nigeria. (Daily Independent)
