Igbo man will become president after me – Atiku announces his love for southeast

The presidential flagbearer of the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday revealed that a political figure of Igbo extraction would become president after he must have served his tenure, if he wins in 2023.

The presidential candidate made this revelation while speaking to Southeast PDP stakeholders in Enugu State.

The former vice president confessed that he holds the Southeastern people in high regard.

He also said that his passion and love for the south eastern people have made him choose an Igbo as his vice presidential candidate.

He said, “I’ve had a close relationship with the Igbos and this influenced my choices of Senator Ben Obi and Mr. Peter Obi as my running mates in my two previous outings as a presidential candidate.

“Again, I have chosen another great Igbo here (Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa) for the third time as my running mate.

“I am the stepping stone for Igbos to become President of Nigeria

Atiku also said, he has “three Igbo children and I am saying this for the very first time in public. So, my relationship with Ndigbo did not start today”.

The Informant247 observes that the presidential candidate visited Enugu to meet the party’s leaders and stakeholders to consult them towards the 2023 presidential contest.
