Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar remains the best choice for the president of Nigeria in 2019, a group, Atiku Mandate 2019, has declared.
The group which is made up of members of different political parties said the emergence of Atiku as president would move the nation forward.
Speaking at the end of its inaugural meeting held at Ikeja on Sunday, the Lagos State Coordinator, Prince Lanre Osundairo, said the country needed Atiku because of his vast political contacts across the length and breadth of the country and the ability to take Nigeria to the Promised Land.
Osundairo described Atiku as the most prepared for the job of the president of Nigeria.
He said all the members were passionate about Atiku becoming the next president because of his qualities.
“As you can see, most of the people you see here are not politicians but people who have genuine love for the former Vice President. I admit that some of us are politicians but the propelling rationale for being members of this movement is for us to ensure that our principal assumes the mantle of leadership of the country,” Osundaira said.
He explained that his group was putting in place a viable platform for all Nigerians who love the Waziri of Adamawa to give support to him.
According to him, being a good product, it was easy to canvass support for Atiku.
