The former presidential candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar on Friday distanced
himself from reports that he is making moves for the 2023 presidency.
Atiku said he was currently
working with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to ensure victory in all
upcoming elections in Edo, Ondo and Anambra States respectively.
A report had emerged that the
former Vice President appointed 18 people in preparation for the 2023
presidential election.
However, Atiku who spoke through
his Media Aide, Paul Ibe said the former Vice President would make everything
public if he decides to run for the Presidency in 2023.
Speaking with Dailypost, Ibe,
however, said that Atiku’s support groups may be organizing themselves.
He said: “We have to be very
careful with social media, it can do good and a lot of bad.
“On the issue of the 2023
presidency, we have said it over and over again that we have not gotten there
yet, we have said it over and over again that we are not there now.
“Where his Excellency is right
now is to help his party, the PDP become victorious in all upcoming elections
like Edo, Ondo and Anambra is also on the radar for next year. These are the
things he is preoccupied with at this point in time.
“These issues of Atiku running for Presidency
or not should not be an issue of social media; it would be made public if it
gets to that point.
“But that is not where Atiku is
right now, there is work to be done, he’s currently working with PDP
stakeholders so that they would put themselves in a position of advantage and
reorganise the party for the task ahead, so I can’t confirm if he has made any
appointments. But you are aware that his support groups remain very vital and
active and I think they are the ones organizing themselves.”
