The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says he’s running for president in 2023 to better the lots of young Nigerians.

“You’re the youth. It’s your tomorrow. If you decide to come out and protect the process, good for you. Me I’ve lived my life. What I’m doing now, I’m doing it for you,” Mr Atiku said.

The former vice president between 1999-2007 disclosed this in a video shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, in which he was speaking to young Nigerians.

He stated that at this stage in his political career, all he was interested in was to “guide you, protect you and defend your interest as long as I’m strong, healthy and alive.”

Mr Abubakar has since 1993 sought five times and failed to be Nigeria’s president, failing at party primary level three times and twice in the main elections.

At 75, Mr Abubakar will contest the 2023 election against the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, the Labour Party’s Peter Obi and several others.

Good, so we Nigerians are asking you to stop running for us.,.. we don't need your kind of benefits.

Nonsense!!

The people are just used to promises

Bottom Line, we need a southern President for equity and justice. Northern president will further divide us.

I am not so sure this is coming from the Cameroonian man

Since your presidency is for Nigerians... Allow we Nigerians to seek your mandate. But it's obvious after 5 trials, Nigerians don't need you except for those who are interested in the national treasury.

My criminal brother
The youths has already decided

Obidatti

If you love us that much Obi then go and enjoy your old age with your family in Dubia.

Idiot...

Sadly, enough, a good number of youths do believe him and his ilks.

Rogues...

Nice
Atiku understands the value of a good life. He knows cannot truly be happy if you can’t pay your bills. He knows you can’t be fulfilled if you can’t take care of your own kids.
Atiku has more than 20 businesses, and over half of that is just welfarism/charity based businesses. What he does, is take from lucrative businesses to subsidize not too lucrative ones. At the end of the month, all the staff gets paid and everyone is happy with their families. I know as the President of Nigeria.
Atiku would be able to do this for all.
Follow who know road.
Vote for atiku abubakar
Vote for PDP.
PDP power to the people

Most people saying they need a southern president are also routing for Tinubu. If power must come to the south let it go to South East because they are the only region that have not produced president in the south just like North East that have also not produced a president in the north.

judithjam:
We don't want you

we don't want the criminal drug dealer and a bokoharam godfather either

Then we don't want you but Obi.
Obi is for the youths.
Obi is for sane Nigerians
Obi is our choice
Obi we need

We the youths are contesting the election through Peter Obi. So Atiku and Tinubu should step down with immediate effect.

How people who wholeheartedly campaigned for Atiku in 2019 are just realizing the man is corrupt and a good example of what is wrong with Nigeria is amusing. Your choice of him in the last election was for altruistic reason, it was for competence, it was a decision to rescue Nigeria. But today, you take pleasure in lambasting people who are ing Atiku for the reasons you professed in 2019.

The only idiot I see here is you

We all know that. That's why since you left office, no one has ever accused you of corruption. And whilst you were in office, you never collected salary.

Gentino:
Then we don't want you but Obi.
Obi is for the ipob
Obi is for insane Nigerians
Obi is ipob choice
Obi ipob need

Ipob youths are contesting the election through Peter Obi. So Atiku and Tinubu should step down with immediate effect.

What an asswipe.

Empty all round and a classic example of someone suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Even when you are convinced the candidate has a questionable character, yet, you would rather him because you were born to die in suffering.

Aschlock..

I'm pretty sure you saw me in your dreams ing Atiku.

Dundee.

Then, he should getat and go rest

Then step down you old man. We don't want you.

Peter Obi for president inshallah

Atiku will be the president of unified Dubai

Someone close to Atiku should tap his shoulder and whisper to him that we Nigerians do not need his phantom benefit.

He should retire to adamawa or dubai in peace.

Me I’ve lived my life. What I’m doing now, I’m doing it for you,” Mr Atiku said.
