Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has declared that the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was a good sign for the country ahead of the 2019 general election.


He said this in a statement he released to the media Sunday night. Obi emphasised that what the PDP delegates did in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital was “a mirror of what Nigerians want next year -free and transparent election”.

Obi noted that although all the aspirants were qualified, the victory of Atiku showed that he was widely accepted. He commended other contestants for putting up brave contest and conducting themselves in a way befitting true leaders.

Lamenting that Nigeria had derailed off the paths of development, Obi said that going by, “Atiku’s wealth of experience, track record of wealth-creation, knack for identifying excellence among excellent people, detribalised nature and perfect understanding of the ills of the country”, the former VP had all it takes to restore the nation’s glory.

“Having personally followed him in the past six months, listened and interacted with him on a number of issues negatively affecting our society, I observe in him a person who has the burning desire to leave a footprint in the sands of time”, the statement added.
