Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Finriri has expressed confidence that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar will emerge as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential for the 2023 general elections.

Ahmadu Fintiri who was very sure of Atiku Abubakar’s victory, made this position known while fielding questions from newsmen at the Yola International Airport on Sunday night.

The Governor who was returning to the state for the first time after the former Vice President declared to vie for the Presidential ticket of the PDP said that Atiku Abubakar remains the best person to fly the party’s ticket at this point in time.

He added that the former Vice President has already set machinery in place to canvas for support across the country and ensure that he gets the party’s presidential ticket.



According to him, “Politics is local whether you are aspiring for the smallest or the highest position, you must have the base, which is home”.

He further said that, “This, we in Adamawa and some other critical stakeholders have provided for our leader, the former Vice President in his aspiration for the presidency of Nigeria for the 2023 general elections”.



Ahmadu Fintiri added that, “We have started the scheming, working, and canvassing for support is in progress and very soon you’ll see him emerging as the flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)”.

He noted that, “with Atiku, the unity of Nigeria will be sacrosanct and the issue of insecurity will become a thing of the past”, tressing that, “Atiku has the experience and he understands the dynamics of this country and I believe he will be able to close the gap and bring us together as a nation”


It could be recalled that during Atiku’s declaration in Abuja, Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri was the only PDP serving Governor present, a move that has doused the tension and cleared speculations of a rift between the two.

Forget it, Nigerian politics is all about who controls the money bag, not on value system.
Which is why we've found ourselves where we are today

Shame on the youths campaigning for these people

Pdalds:
With his money I guess

Atiku is a grassroot politician.

So far, athifku is the only opponent, though he stands no chance against Tinubu.

For the ticket, nobody dey drag with am. Forget that clown with small voice, na vice be him target.

No Northerner should think of ruling this country again, Buhari really showed the south how nepotistic the north can be...


The north can never be trusted again with power

He will buy it for sure, no doubt about that.
He's a good customer, will still lose to Tinubu.

End of PDP if they dare give their ticket to Atiku, it will be their worst performance ever in a presidential election, even NNPP of Kwankwaso will do better than them. Atiku is a spent force, he has nothing to offer like that drug lord called Tinubu.

Na only atiku walkaa come ?

Too much alcohol

If a PDP give it preidential ticket to a northner, that may be the begining of the end of PDP Especialy in the south east. its time for a southern president..

2023 election will shock many if their will be any

Definitely he always wins it

Let us articulate (Atikulate) the matter Obidiently

Sure banker. Online no be real life. Most noisemakers on Nairaland can't even win an election against their own shoes at home and they have no PVC .

Must he rule? When are we going to have younger ones as leaders of tomorrow they promised us?

It's not a matter of hehehee.

How many states can atiku win in the North where he comes from?

He does not have the sole right to the ticket.

And that would be the burial of PDP.

Goodluck with that.

And PDP will continue to loss simple

Peter Obi in the mud

In the main elections, atiku is a nobody.
Nobody likes him, not even his home state.

This is talking about the primaries where selfish money bags rule.
And they are going to wreck pdp.
The primaries is not the general election.

In a general election, Peter obi is their best bet.

Anybody above 60 would be disgraced next year in politics

PressMyButton:
Peter Obi in the mud

Before you start jubilating nonsense, atiku has not won yet.
These are his loyalists.

I have hope that the pdp are not complete fools and know what is best for them.

These Fulanis/Hausas have really taken the entire south for fools. Imagine Atiku trying to contest after his fellow aboki is about concluding 8 years in power. It's the turn of the south, abokis should go and sit their stupid ass down. Till the south unite as one, they will always be slaves to the north.

Atiku will not be president of Nigeria. He has an evil agenda too. He may be more brutal than PMB. Another Fulani man for 8yrs? No way sir

That's the most likely scenario and not a surprise to anyone familiar with how the party nomination process works. It's all about the money and the delegates. Wike will give Atiku a good run but they will settle it in-house the typical PDP way. As many already posted here, Nairalanders and other Nigerians sadly need to understand that politics is not a religious leadership platform looking for saints, it's for all comers and that's why you need to join to fight from within. They are choosing a presidential candidate (based on personal/group interests) not the pope or church general overseer.
