“I commend all the other Presidential aspirants; at the PDP National Convention for their courage, patriotism, and remarkable spirit of sportsmanship which they displayed; throughout the consultation period up to the National Convention.
Misrule of APC
“There is no gainsaying the fact that all our Presidential aspirants are; eminently qualified and that their aspirations were; driven by patriotism in line with the mission of the PDP to; rescue our nation from the catastrophic misrule of the vicious, corrupt and incompetent All Progressives Congress (APC).
“However, the delegates have spoken and resoundingly so in; electing His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar as the Presidential standard-bearer to lead our Party and indeed Nigerians to; victory in the 2023 Presidential election.
No coincidence
“The emergence of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, with his excellent performance record and unmatched popularity across the nation, signals the beginning of PDP’s historic journey back to power in 2023 to commence the process of reuniting, redirecting, rescuing, and rebuilding our nation from the ashes of the misrule of the APC led government.
“It is not a coincidence that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar took the mantle as Presidential candidate at the break of May 29, 2022; a date which significantly points to May 29, 2023.
