Doyin Okupe, former presidential spokesman, has opined why former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, defeated Senate President, Bukola Saraki, at the elective national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Abubakar emerged victorious in the PDP presidential primary which held at the weekend in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State Capital. He defeated 11 other aspirants.

With 1532 votes, Abubakar popularly known as Atiku came first while Mr Saraki came a distant third with 317 votes.

Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal came second with 693 votes in the primary election.

Mr Okupe who heads Saraki Presidential Campaign Media Council said the top lawmaker lost to the former vice president because of restructuring.

“Atiku won a deserved victory. It was not just about money rather it was a victory for RESTRUCTURING,” the former presidential spokesman said in a tweet late Sunday.

He also said the presidential candidate emerged because of the trust the Southern Protectorate vested on him about restructuring the country.

“Atiku’s advocacy & commitment was believed by leaders of SW,SE&SS zones, hence d massive by their delegates. CONGRATULATIONS to Atiku Abubakar,” he added.

Restructuring is one of Atiku’s campaign promises. He had promised to restructure the country so as to make it comfortable for Nigerians to feel at home in whichever part of the country they reside.

Atiku2019:



BMC Sighted

Armed robber sighted... Answer my question if you can and stop fooling yourself.

True.

Restructuring mantra won him the ticket. Hopefully, he would deliver on that should he, God willing, assume office come May.

Thats not true.

Saraki came up with Grow Nigeria "bulls h i t ".....
Nigerians didn't buy the idea.
Secondly Saraki is too desperate and lacks public trust.
He looks acceptable to the masses simply because he is against mr Buhari who approval rating has crumbled

Saraki was all hype and no substance, that's why. He hired many online folks to make himself look larger than life but at the end of the day, nothing for am.

,that is what they told you o.

Meanwhile, do you know you can now block your phone number when stolen to avoid hacking into your ?


Shaaaa, just checkout my signature.

Anything to breed life back into Nigeria.

I wonder how we expect to have a thriving economy when we have a lifeless president.

All politicians are undercover scammers and fraudsters! Believe them at your own peril.

Its dollar rain. Simple.

Atiku is a more matured politician, clearly has more muscles than Saraki

2014 APC primaries, Atiku shared dollars, he came 3rd.
2018 PDP primaries, Atiku shared dollars and he came first.
Note the difference.

Nothing has changed about pdp. We can only move forward and never backwards.
No going back to Egypt. Never PDP again.

Time to hands and work together and Atiku to succeed

it is not just about money rather victory of RESTRUCTURING,who is fooling who,God punish all of you

Ok

All hail Atiku

Saraki is an amateur politician where Atiku is. Plain and simple.

Saraki, Kwankwaso, all of them were Atiku Boys
Na Ambulance Carry Tambuwal Comot for Convention ground, I no dey their sha, na dem say

PDP state chapters did well to scam other Aspirant chop their money clean mouth.
What Village People, dem laugh with you come do you wayo.

But Atiku na Babanla sho, too much money, me sef wan chop 5000usd

Nigeria recycling leaders since 1960. I just tire and I officially declare my vote for sale as Ihave no preferred candidate.

Don't forget to strip Buhari of his security details during election.

Because Saraki is not a northerner. Stop this crap. Atiku does not have the powers to restructure. anyways we go still Atikulate

Atiku 2019 is a goal.

Christiandefenz:
Atiku is a candidate that pmb cannot harrass like saraki and co

That's the main thing, Buhari can't just harasse him anyhow

oliverealtor:
After primary election Yoruba and igbo will thicken thier quest to insult each other.instead of unite and send unwanted politicians out. They are busy on nairaland throwing tantrum. I belief in moving this country forward

I salute you well.

Make I no lie these two tribes useless politically.

They cannot seek a common goal, yet many have friends from the other tribe and have inter-married.

As I said politically both are useless

Nigerian Politicians are nothing to write home about.

If he (Atiku) wins now,,, he will forget he ever mentioned Restructuring during campaign.

Sadly he won't even win!

Can people ask him why Tambuwa came second and bis Boss third? we have had why Atiku came first. let us hear his boss story

A A is the answer, Nigeria need something lively and working as president not something sleeping
