A
presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday said he would not give up his bid to
become the president of Nigeria.
Mr. Abubakar made this
declaration in Dutse, Jigawa State, shortly before holding a 90 minutes
closed-door consultation with Governor Sule Lamido.
He
said he was determined to continue to vie for the office of President
even if he loses the APC ticket for next year’s election. He, however,
said his chance of winning his party’s primary on December 10 was
bright.
The former vice president also said he was ready to
support whoever emerges at the primary to ensure the person’s victory at
the 2015 presidential election.
Mr. Abubakar earlier told journalists that he was in Dutse to interact with his party’s delegates ahead of the primaries.
He also criticised the invasion of the APC data office in Lagos by security operatives.
Mr.
Abubakar is one of the five aspirants seeking the APC’s ticket for
2015. The others are former military head of state, Muhammadu Buhari;
Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano and Rocha Okorocha of Imo; as well as
newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isiah.
