I Want To Offer Solutions To The Problems Of Nigerians – Atiku

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has stated that he is capable of providing solutions to Nigeria’s challenges.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate for 2019 made the comment on Thursday, March 3, 2022, during his formal announcement for the presidency.

With his expertise at both higher and lower levels of government, Atiku believes he is the finest candidate to deliver the genuine leadership the country requires.

He said; “There has never been a time when Nigerians need serious leadership than now.

“PDP is in a better position to offer Nigerians that desirable leadership. That is what I want to offer. I want to offer solutions to our problems.

“I have the experience in the lower and highest level. As a vice president of Nigeria, I made much progress in national transformation.

“As a businessman, I have solved grassroot problems by creating jobs for thousands of people”.

In other news, Pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo, has warned to rally its members to vote out the PDP if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is elected the flagbearer of the party. 

You may recall Atiku claimed he has never failed to get the Presidential ticket while visiting former President Olusegun Obasanjo last weekend. He also voiced optimism about winning the PDP’s presidential nomination in 2023.

In response to his remark, Ohaneze stated in a statement that the group has always endorsed the PDP and that it will not fear to withdraw its support if an Igbo presidential candidate is not fielded in 2023.

The statement reads

”Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar’s boastful stance of winning the 2023 PDP presidential ticket is a nostalgic belief that has decorated him as a desperate politician swimming against the political currents and tides of the moment.

Atiku has misread the mood of the nation ahead of 2023, and this miscalculation may retire him from partisan politics in 2023. Atiku has the constitutional rights to aspire for the office of President in 2023, but one had expected him not to rock the boat now that the odds are against him based on his age and his region.

He should not fight dirty or appear desperate for the presidency, rather it’s time for him to voluntarily quit partisan politics and takes his rightful place in history as an Elder statesman without being dishonored and disgraced.

Ndigbo had expected that Atiku Abubakar should support a younger person, for 2023, especially after the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike openly denounced Atiku’s proposal, for him to be his running mate in 2023. That’s enough message and signal to him that 2023 is exclusively reserved for a Southern President, and Atiku should search his conscience and support an Igbo in the PDP primaries to avert a disgraceful end of his political career.

The Southern Nigerian Leaders and Governors have vowed that it’s unhealthy for another northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. In 2019, Ndigbo showed enough loyalty to the PDP and Atiku Abubakar, and the present predicaments and penalties facing the South-East today, was the 2019 Igbo support given to Atiku and PDP. But in 2023, Igbos will dump PDP if Atiku wins the PDP tickets. Ohanaeze Ndigbo in alliance with other ethnic groups will ensure that any political party that refuses to zone their presidential ticket to the south will suffer in the 2023 presidential election, If Atiku continues, he will surely taste the venom of Nigerians in the PDP primaries and disgrace that awaits him.”
