Atiku will hand over to an Igbo president if elected in 2023, says Campaign Spokesman

365Daily – The Deputy Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Council, Uloka Chibuike, has assured Igbos that the Presidential Candidate of the Party, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, will hand over power to the Southeast if elected as President in 2023.
He made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday, November 8, 2023.
He stated: “This is not just a promise. He has repeatedly shown that his word is his bond. While others continue to treat Igbo with leprous fingers, Atiku has promised to treat us with respect.”
In September, Atiku promised to support an Igbo successor if he wins the presidential election.
Chibuike stressed that Atiku trusts the people of the region, adding that they have more to gain from an alliance with the North.

“Atiku has proved to the Igbo man that he can be trusted. No other tribe in Nigeria has trusted the Igbo man and made them direct partners in progress except Atiku.

“In 2007, against the uproar, he chose an Igbo from Anambra State in the person of Ben Obi to be his running mate.

“Despite the animosity of many, he chose Peter Obi as his running mate in 2019 to prove his relationship with Ndi-Igbo.

“Again, despite Ohanaeze’s ban on Igbo politicians accepting the vice presidency in 2023, Atiku chose another Igbo man as his running mate in 2023, promising to hand over power to Ndi-Igbo after his term.

“Atiku has pledged to restructure Nigeria to favour and accommodate Ndi-Igbo and make sure that his successor is from the region.

“This is not just a promise. He has repeatedly shown that his word is his bond. While others continue to treat Igbo with leprous fingers, Atiku has promised to treat us with respect.”
