North East Business Communities for Atiku 2023 which happens to be a political group has alleged that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accepted their call to join the 2023 presidential race.
This was averred in a statement jointly signed by the National Chairman and National Coordinator of the group, Abubakar Jibrin and Dr Ali Bappayo Adamu,on Thursday in Gombe, which said Atiku accepted to run during their recent visit to the state to open the group’s secretariat.
The political group reavealed that the 75-year-old Atiku is the best man to win the 2023 poll in view of his wealth of experience in politics, business, and governance.
They also said the group would purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms for Atiku, the presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 general election, when the time comes, lamenting that the North East has suffered political marginalisation since the demise of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the country’s first and only prime minister.
“We are not doing this for Atiku, but for our region and our country and we are ready to pursue this cause to success,” the group said.
