            errorMessage="Please Select At least One Client " />

Only use <aui:validator> as the body of <aui:input> tags. For tags other than that, there are other approaches.

If you only need required field validation for the dropdown list, I would suggest you use the required="true" attribute in the <aui:select> tab. Doing so would display the default This field is required message.

Should you need a custom error message, then you would have to use <aui:script> for form validation:

<aui:script use="aui-form-validator">
    new A.FormValidator({
        boundingBox: $("<portlet:namespace />myForm"),
        rules: {
            <portlet:namespace />promotionAssignment: {
                required: true
            }
        },
        fieldStrings: {
            <portlet:namespace />promotionAssignment: {
                required: 'Please select at least one client'
            }
        }
    });
</aui:script>
