My Father Will Vie For President In 2023 — Atiku Son

Atiku Abubakar son, Adamu, on Monday said his father will throw his hat in the ring for the 2023 presidential election.

Atiku was vice-president to Nigeria’s first president in the fourth republic, Olusegun Obasanjo, after the country returned to civilian rule in 1999.

He had since given a shot at to has the highest office since 3 times. He has been gunning for the presidency since 1993.

He ran on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019,  but lost to President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress.

Adamu disclosed this while giving lowdown of his achievements as commissioner for works and energy in Adamawa state on Ahmadu Finitiri’s first anniversary as governor.

He said his father had remained a master politician and there was nothing wrong if he contested again.

“Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with my father contesting for the presidency. In 2023, my father will be aspiring to the number one office in the land because he has been an astute, strategic, master politician for almost four decades,” he said.

He said his coming late into politics was as a result of the advice from his father who asked him to spend more time in the private sector to gather enough experience that would be crucial for him in public life.

“I am basically here to serve my people; if I am called by the people back home to run for the senate, I don’t see anything wrong with that,” he said.

Atiku had challenged Buhari’s victory after the 2019 election, but the supreme court dismissed case.
