EKO HOT BLOG reports that a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has committed his faith to clinch the party’s ticket into the hands of the delegates.

The former Vice President revealed this in a post on his official Twitter page on Saturday, April 30, 2022.

Atiku and 16 other aspirants in the party had appeared before a Presidential Screening Committee on Friday, April, 29, 2022.
