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 Atikun 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.”
