He said;
“When I came to Enugu a few months ago for a town hall meeting, I told you that I am going to be the stepping stone to an Igbo president. And I mean that statement,” stated Mr Abubakar.
“Whether, from the South-East or South-South, I am going to make sure that an Igbo becomes president after me as president because the Igbo is a universal race. That’s why I chose an Igbo man from Delta as my running mate.”
“As you can see, Nigeria is geared towards a PDP government. So, the next Federal Government is going to be formed by the PDP.
“I appeal to Enugu people to make sure that you remain in the PDP so that you be in the mainstream and be part of that government.”
Meanwhile, Atiku faces a stiff opposition from an Igbo indigene, Peter Obi of the Labour Party in the battle for the 2023 presidential seat.
