Former Vice President and 2019 presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has inaugurated his 2023 campaign organization.
The Nation reports that the campaign body named Atiku Support Group was inaugurated in Abuja on Thursday, December 17, under the chairmanship of its director-general, Atiku Aminu Mohammed.
According to the North-Central coordinator of the group, Anngu Orngu, the campaign organisation has as its major interest the welfare of Nigerians, especially the youths, an objective enshrined in the former vice president’s national development agenda.
Speaking on this aspect of the body’s vision, Orngu said: “Improving the livelihood of Nigerians is of utmost priority to Atiku Abubakar. He has demonstrated this in numerous capacities which is why we the Nigerian youth want him to be president come 2023.
“We will not rest till he is elected the president of Nigeria. If he is elected as the president of Nigeria, he will be pro-active in addressing the insecurity challenges facing the country, attract foreign investments and give support to millions of small and medium scale enterprises in addition to 40% youth inclusiveness in government.”
Atiku has been on the ballot for two times; 2007 and 2019, and has continued to show interest in the number one office of the land.
He was defeated by President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress in 2019 general election and the post elections case he instituted got to the Supreme Court.
