The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says he’s running for president in 2023 to better the lots of young Nigerians.

“You’re the youth. It’s your tomorrow. If you decide to come out and protect the process, good for you. Me I’ve lived my life. What I’m doing now, I’m doing it for you,” Mr Atiku said.

The former vice president between 1999-2007 disclosed this in a video shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, in which he was speaking to young Nigerians.

He stated that at this stage in his political career, all he was interested in was to “guide you, protect you and defend your interest as long as I’m strong, healthy and alive.”

Mr Abubakar has since 1993 sought five times and failed to be Nigeria’s president, failing at party primary level three times and twice in the main elections.

At 75, Mr Abubakar will contest the 2023 election against the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, the Labour Party’s Peter Obi and several others.

Bottom Line, we need a southern President for equity and justice. Northern president will further divide us.

Your answer will help me know how to explain idiocy to you.

Gentino:
Then we don't want you but Obi.
Obi is for the ipob
Obi is for insane Nigerians
Obi is ipob choice
Obi ipob need

Ipob youths are contesting the election through Peter Obi. So Atiku and Tinubu should step down with immediate effect.

How people who wholeheartedly campaigned for Atiku in 2019 are just realizing the man is corrupt and a good example of what is wrong with Nigeria is amusing. Your choice of him in the last election was for altruistic reason, it was for competence, it was a decision to rescue Nigeria. But today, you take pleasure in lambasting people who are supporting Atiku for the reasons you professed in 2019.

The only idiot I see here is you
