After several months of consultations with critical stakeholders in Nigeria and members of the Peoples Democratic Party, former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, will on Saturday make a formal declaration to contest the 2019 presidential election.
A statement from the Media Office of the former Vice President said Abubakar will be making his declaration at a political rally in Yola, the capital of his home state, Adamawa.
According to the press release, Abubakar’s decision to join the presidential race in 2019 is in response to the yearnings of majority of Nigerians to enthrone a government that will fix the country’s broken economy, strengthen national unity and create much-needed jobs for Nigerians.
“After extensive consultations with his family, Nigerians of diverse dispensations at home and abroad, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar has decided to make a formal bid for the 2019 presidential election race under the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party,” the statement said.
Abubakar has embarked on nationwide consultative visits to many states across the country where he met with stakeholders in the PDP.
He has visited all but one of the states in the South South geopolitical zone, as well as some states in the South East geopolitical zone.
