Nigeria’s former Vice President, Mr. Abubakar Atiku, has said he is not desperate to be President of the country.
He made the assertion while fielding questions from journalists shortly after his meeting with the Oba of Benin, where he sought royal blessing of the monarch on his presidential aspiration.
Atiku who is seeking to contest for Nigeria’s top job on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), said his decision to contest for presidency was borne out of his dire desire to improving the lots of Nigerians, adding that he would still remain in the PDP even if he failed to get the sole ticket of the party in 2019.
He said if he were desperate to be the nation’s president, he would have long achieved it and would have not step down for Abiola.
“There is nothing wrong in entring the race. I can run as many times as possible. I am fit, qualified. I still have ideas that I believe that are going to put this country at the right part.
“So, what is wrong in running? I am not desperate. If I were desperate, I would have taken the presidency in 2003. If I were desperate, I would not have stepped down for Abiola. I am not desperate,” Atiku said.http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2018/08/i-am-not-desperate-to-be-president-atiku/

Only enemies of the state takes you serious

Ooh yes you are desperate. Am not against your aspiration but don't lie.

Sudden change of mind.



Atiku should go and rest, he is not a leader and he will never be.


Leaders don't lie.

Saraki is the best candidate for PDP.

if Atiku was not desperate, he would have remained in A.P.C when it seems the party is loosing its toil.. he would have tried to make the party a better one, he should have challenged buhari to a party primary if hes confident hes a better leader, and lastly if all the above mentioned were too difficult to achieve he shouldnt have decamped to PDP if he wasnt desperate..
i knows so many anti buharist who are willing to vote for buhari if pdp should field this atiku.
