2023: G-5 Govs, Others Can’t Stop My Presidency – Atiku Boasts
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – With the internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) still escalating, the Party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has boasted that anyone hoping to stop his 2023 political ambition can only do so by first becoming Nigeria’s president.
The Wazirin Adamawa, who bragged that having engaged in many political battles over the years nothing can surprise him anymore, said those thinking of thwarting his presidential ambition would have to wait and become president after the 2023 general elections.
According to the former Vice President, plans by five aggrieved PDP Governors, popularly referred to as G-5 Governors or Integrity Group, to back presidential candidates of their choice will come to naught because he is an elephant whose pedigree stands him out in the nation’s political scene.
In the words of his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the PDP Standard bearer “will be president. Whether the cock crows or not, the sun must rise. Power belongs to God Almighty; no man can arrogate to himself the powers of God Almighty.
“Any man who can boast of stopping Atiku should first make himself president of Nigeria. Atiku is an elephant. Even when an elephant walks on thorns, it does not limp.”
The statement further added that; “And when you have seen a snake, it cannot bite you anymore. In this case, we have seen the snake, how can we be taken by surprise?”
