A group campaigning for the election of Atiku Abubakar as president has commended Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and former Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki for their “maturity and exemplary sportmanship” during and after the recent presidential primary elections of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The group, Atiku 774 Ambassadors, is a conglomerate of independent news publishers in the 744 LGAs of the country.
Leader of the group, Ambassador Sani Muhammad Sani, told a select group of journalists in Kano that Wike has stated that the PDP has conducted one of the most credible elections in the country while accepting defeat and the result with humility and good heart.
Sani also quoted Saraki from news reports as saying, “Now, we must all rally around all our candidates across the nation to fix our economy, curb the insecurity, and put an end to the rising cost of living.”
Sani said: “What happened in the last presidential primary election of the PDP indicated that Nigerians are lucky, because their politicians have grown up to maturity level whose patriotic direction is to navigate the country into a well secured, prospective and a peaceful Nigeria.”
He further explained that the likes of Wike and Saraki are politicians whose wealth of experience, coupled with the former vice president Atiku Abubakar’s knowledge of the country, will stimulate the country’s economic growth while laying a solid foundation for wealth creation for generations to come.
He said the trio of Wike, Saraki and Atiku is “an unbeatable team of progress initiators.”
Sani pointed out that Wike has vowed to the officials of the PDP before the primaries that he would support whoever emerged as the party’s flag bearer.
The national coordinator of Atiku 774 commended all delegates that voted wisely for Atiku and urged all Nigerians to put their hands on deck and support Atiku’s candidature for a better Nigeria.
