I’m Sure Of PDP’s Presidential Ticket – Atiku
Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed confidence that he would win the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Atiku said this on Saturday when he spoke with journalists shortly after a meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his presidential bid.
He arrived at the penthouse residence located within Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State, at 10:10am and went straight into the meeting with Obasanjo.
Although Atiku has not officially declared his presidential bid, he has reportedly commenced consultations ahead of his declaration.
Raymond Dokpesi, PDP chieftain, who heads Atiku’s presidential campaign technical committee, has been traversing the country to promote him to Nigerians.
Speaking with journalists after the one-hour long meeting, the former Vice President said he would soon make a formal declaration of his intention to run in 2023.
“Have I ever failed to get the ticket? I’m confident,” he said.
When asked to allow the younger presidential aspirants contest for presidency, Atiku said, “Let the youth compete now. It is a competition. It’s democracy.”
