A former Vice President and the
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, has revealed how late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, anointed him for President
in 2003.
Atiku spoke at the presidential
campaign of the PDP, in Katsina State on Thursday.
Katsina is the home state of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Atiku said he was vying for the
position in order to fulfil unachieved dream of the late Yar’Adua.
He said “I was introduced into
politics by late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua of blessed memory and I grew up in
politics in Katsina.
“Later, late Shehu anointed me as
the presidential candidate in 2003.
“Today, it is time to fulfill the
dream of late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua. Would you help Shehu achieve his unfulfilled
dream?”
“The APC, three and half years
ago, came here to promise you that they will restore the economy, improve
security and unemployment, but they have failed.
“I am assuring you that if
elected, we would restore the security, address the issue of unemployment and
by the time that is done, we must have addressed hunger in the country.
“We would closely work with Lado
(Katsina governorship candidate) to achieve this together in the state level,”
Atiku stated.
