Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has finally said he will contest for the position of the President in 2015 on the ticket of the All Progressives Congress.

He said he would be making the public declaration on Wednesday, September 24.

This was contained in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Mallam Garba Shenu, in Abuja on Friday morning.

He said, “The Turaki Adamawa will contest for the ticket of the All Progressives Congress, in the 2015 presidential elections.

“The former Vice President will be making the declaration on Wednesday, September 24.”

He said that the campaign will be anchored by someone he described as a veteran of successful presidential contests and a former Minister, Prof. Babalola Borisade.

Borisade, he said, is also a well-known political strategist who worked for the victory of the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and thereafter, late Chief M. K. O. Abiola on the platform of the defunct Social Democratic Party.

He said Borisade also worked as the strategist for President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003 elections, both of which were won resoundingly.

“This is not about me, it is about our young people. It is about Nigerians. It is their future, not the past. It is about reforming government, securing the people and reconciling the nation,” Atiku was quoted as saying.

He said further that Atiku was of the view that “2015 is special and a potential turning point in Nigeria’s history – that we need to seize the moment, to give every Nigerian a chance to help re-define Nigeria as a place for them and their children to prosper and feel safe.”

He says a change is needed now, and he is ready to lead that change.

Atiku is going to face a former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwanso, among others, for the APC ticket.

Atiku is the best candidate for APC. Let's test him first in that Lab. and see his performance before he comes back to PDP for same contest in 2019:
