Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has been conferred with a doctorate degree of science (Honoris Causa), at the maiden convocation of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources (FUPRE), Effurun, Delta state.

Some political pundits see Atiku’s rising popularity as a sign that the former vice president might contest in the coming 2019 presidential election.
The chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) was conferred with the degree on Tuesday, March 14, during his visit to Delta state.

It is believed that Atiku's visit to the state is aimed at helping him to consolidate on his political ambition to run for the presidency. He is yet to announce any plan to contest.

Atiku Abubakar had contested against Muhammadu Buhari under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform during the primary election in 2015.

Though he lost, he is reportedly still building his support base ahead of the 2019 general election.

Atiku’s profile as a candidate for the 2019 presidential election has been rising in recent times.

Not fewer than 300,000 youths have pledged support for the presidential bid of the former vice president of Nigeria few days ago.

Some suggest Atiku Abubakar’s recent visit to Delta state was for political reasons.

Vanguard reports that the huge support comes from a group called Concerned Nigerian Youth Development Organisation (CNYDO) which has endorsed Atiku as the right man to take over the job of ruling Nigeria from incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Congrats to him, but leave that thing. The best Atiku could do is to be a first runner-up in APC primary election.

i tell you. imagine kwankwaso beat him to second position during APC primary

This man keep going about it the wrong way...he will waste millions of dollars as usual and nothing would happen. He doesn't care about the poor, he adds no value..he will remain a political bigwig, he can't be a president this way.

I think he's richer than Dangote, Dangote stands a better chance even if he declares on election day, it's not about the number of degrees he bags, it's about impact.
