IT WILL
BE DOOM AND DISASTROUS ON PDP IF PDP DO THIS TO ME – ATIKU THREATENS
Latest
update as Segun Showunmi, spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign
Organisation, has revealed that it would be disastrous if the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) fails to field his principal as its candidate in the
2019 presidential election.
Showunmi
said Atiku deserved the presidential ticket of the PDP because he had been
deeply involved in the Nigeria’s political system and understands the
peculiarity of the nation’s democracy very good.
According
to him, Atiku had built consensus, and is a nationalist that has the ears of
the people, adding that he remained the only person who could give President
Buhari a run for his money.
Speaking
with Daily Sun on why Nigerians should queue behind Atiku in 2019, Showunmi
said, “There are many Nigerians but he has unique political qualities that
distinguished him from others. Many of the aspirants cannot generate exciting
emotions outside of their zone. Some of them are just looking at presidency
like ambition; they cannot articulate what they want to do with the
opportunity. Nigeria needs a leader that has a global reputation.
“Atiku
is obviously better than other aspirants including the opposition aspirants. He
has a bigger vision for Nigeria. None of the Presidential aspirants could
challenge Buhari in the 2019 election and succeed.
”Atiku
is the only person that could do that. It will be unwise for PDP to bring an
unpopular candidate to challenge the incumbent President. That would be
disastrous. He is open to fresh ideas and he believes that all the tribes should
bring ideas to the discussion table so we could collectively and extensively
discuss and appease all worrying factions.”
