The former vice president who spoke during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, said his move to enthrone and deepen democracy in Nigeria started even during the military era.
The PDP candidate claimed that he has been battling for the nation’s top job for the past three decades.
He said, “It is with a heart full of sadness that I address you today. I have in the last three decades devoted my life to battle to birth and deepen democracy in our country.
“It was a battle that started during the military era. It was a struggle that nearly cost me my life and that of my son where eight policemen were killed in the attempt to save our lives. I survived the assassination only by the mercy and the grace of God.
“That was not all, my businesses were nearly crippled. My commitment in the enthronement of democracy made me join forces with other compatriots.
“As a leader of the defunct Social Democratic Party, together with our current Chairman, we fought and won the 1993 presidential election which was acclaimed to be the freest election in our nation’s history. There was no internet then, yet it was the freest and fairest election”.

Atiku said Obi couldn't have won the presidential election. You forgot to say Ahmed Tinubu was not just in SDP, but he was a financial. He also forgot to say Kwankwoso was in the SDP and was elected as the deputy speaker of the house of representatives. Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwoso and Ayu were members of the peoples front under the leadership of Shehu Yar Adua . They are all friends and business associates
ReplyDeletePapa please rest, to become president may not be your destiny.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your destiny is vice president.
Because you would have been vice president now if you allowed Obi compete for president under PDP.
Maybe it's not your destiny to become a president in this life. Maybe next life.
ReplyDeleteThough he might not be my political choice in this election, but I give it to him for his doggedness😳👏
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that sir! You have really tried.

Which 4 years time? Are you not tired of the recycling? Please we want fresh minds to come forth in the next election.
DeleteOga make you rest oooo...
ReplyDeleteAt least, it won't be 16 years of Fulani rulership. Waziri, no long speech when you bought the PDP primary this tube it the last. No press conference when it was mathematically obvious that PDP and LP will split votes limiting spread. Now English everywhere.
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on him and replenish his money
