Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the All Progressives
Congress (APC) is its greatest opposition.
Atiku, a former vice-president,
said ahead of the 2019 elections, one of APC’s greatest challenges is President
Muhammadu Buhari’s health condition.
Atiku was quoted as saying this
in an interview published in a new book titled ‘Atiku Abubakar: The Best Choice
for President of Nigeria in 2019’. The book was written by Isa Odidi, a 2007 presidential
candidate.
Asked what his thoughts for 2019
are, the PDP presidential candidate said: “Are the vast majority of Nigerians
satisfied with their economic and social conditions? Has there been any
progress in tackling poverty, hunger and unemployed in our nation?
“The APC government has not been
able to manage its electoral success. The greatest opposition to APC is itself.
It is an agglomeration of disparate groups separately seeking to control the
soul of the party.
“As long as Buhari remains and is
encouraged to seek re-election in his doubtful state of health, the more
attritional internal responses within the APC will be, moving towards 2019.”
Atiku is seen to be Buhari’s
major challenger in the presidential election slated for February 16.
