Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has revealed why
he attended the event where the former Nigerian Vice president, Atiku Abubakar
formally declared his intention to run for the presidency in 2023.
Atiku, the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2019 presidential election, formally declared in Abuja on Wednesday to run for the office of the Nigerian president.
While fielding questions from journalists shortly after the
event, Peter Obi, who is also a 2023 presidential aspirant, said he attended
the event because he was invited.
According to him, he has a cordial relationship with the
former Vice President, saying he will continue to attend Atiku’s if invited
despite his own political ambitions.
He said, “The reason why I am here is that this is new
politics. As you know, I play politics differently, as for me, politics is not
a war.
“Atiku is my boss, my leader and an elder brother. If he
invites me for anything, I will attend. Aspiring does not mean I should not
keep my relationship that is cordial.
“Atiku is a unifier and anytime he invites me for anything,
I will be there”.
