Peter Obi, former governor of
Anambra state, has expressed delight with the emergence of former
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) for the 2019 presidential election.
In a statement issued on Sunday,
Obi said this shows the wishes and desires of most Nigerians.
He said what the PDP delegates
did in Port Harcourt reflect what Nigerians want – free and transparent
election.
Obi said since all the candidates
were eminently qualified, the victory of Abubakar showed his wide acceptance.
He commended other contestants
for putting up brave contest and conducting themselves in a befitting manner.
Describing Nigeria as a nation
that has derailed off the paths of development due to what he called cumulative
leadership failure, Obi said he has confidence that Abubakar has all it takes
to restore the glory of Nigeria.
“Having personally followed him
in the past six months, listened and interacted with him on a number of issues
negatively affecting our society, I observe in him a person who has the burning
desire to leave a footprint in the sands of time,” he said.
He called on Nigerians to offer
the PDP candidate full support and thanked Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, for
providing a conducive atmosphere for the convention.
