2019 Election: Atiku Declares Ambition

The All Progressive’s Congress Chieftain, Atiku Abubakar has finally declared his intention to run in the 2019 elections.

Before now, Atiku has been in the news for speculations on a Presidential bid in 2019 as the Minister for Women Affairs, Mrs. Alhassan Mohammed even declared her unchanging support for his future ambitions.

Now, in an audio recording extracted by Vanguard newspaper, the former Vice-President has mentioned his reason to join the race for 2019 election.

However, he didn’t state categorically what he will be running for and under what party.

He may even decamp to other party as he already complained of being sidelined in APC while his former party, PDP is still wooing him for a return.

In the fresh audio, Atiku said:

“I am Atiku Abubakar, the poor
boy from Jada, Adamawa state. I am a true democrat, a believer in the rule of law and a fighter for justice and equity. I believe in this country. If we work together under a focused and visionary leadership, we will make this country a stable and prosperous nation. I have the vision, the courage, the experience to lead this country. It is time to give back. I am ready to serve.”

The video had pictorial illustrations like; “Atiku…Nation on a rescue mission, Proudly Atikunation, we walk together; Nigeria of our dream, think Atiku; Atikunation 2019, if not Atiku then who?”
