A political group, Atiku Abubakar
Grassroots Ambassadors of Nigeria has said there is nothing strange about
President Mohammadu Buhari’s decision to run for a second term in office.
The group’s National President,
Mr Ferguson Okpala, made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Tuesday.
Okpala said the Atiku movement
was not worried by the announcement and noted that the opposition must nominate
the right candidate if it wished to have a robust contest in the next election.
“For us, the decision of
President Buhari to seek re-election is a good one, it is his personal decision
and right; nobody should deny him that.
“But we are not worried about
that, it is even good for us because we know one of our likely opponents.
“Nigerians are wise enough to
elect the leader they want.
“What we are asking for now is
that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should do the right thing by giving
Atiku the party’s presidential ticket because he is the only one that has the
reach, credibility and capacity to face Buhari,” he said.
