Former Vice President and Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that he i. s not desperate to be President of the country.

Atiku stated this while fielding questions from newsmen in Benin on Tuesday.

He however pledged not to leave the PDP even if he fails to secure the presidential ticket of the party.

Atiku who was the nation’s Vice President to Olusegun Obasanjo, between 1999 and 2007, said he would have become President in 2003 if he were desperate.

“What do you expect my critics to say. I can run as many times as I want. I am fit and qualified and I still have ideas to put this country on the right path. What is wrong in trying again and again.

“I am not desperate to become President. 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 have the interest of this country.”

Atiku who touched down at the Benin Airport in a private jet alongside the Director General of his campaign organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, was in Benin as part of the campaign to pick the party’s ticket. (NAN)

He needs to pay homage to Donald Trump first, until then, he remains a joker.

At least you didn't go the extent of crying.
Bubu cried when he failed the 3rd time and people were thinking the man had anything to offer. Not knowing he was crying for an opportunity to destroy us.

Never again..

;O

The fact that u have gone back and forth using different parties to fight for the position of president u are desperate.

All d cash u have spent buying forms, campaign and all were from ur pocket so cut the slack and admit ur desperation.

Even the old man at the villa (a self acclaimed mr integrity) is also a desperado like every other politician in the country.


So long as he (Atiku) is hiding his motive, he will never be trusted by observers like us.

I prefer Markaffi as PDP candidate than this con man.

That is a man with a plan and good vision talking there, he had seen it all and therefore deserves to wear the crown come 2019.....we have seen the best of Buhari and this seems to be the worst. Atiku is our next choice!
