“Let the young people compete.” It’s a competition. Atiku responded, “It’s a democracy.”
He revealed that he would soon declare his intention to run for president in 2023.
Atiku also expressed confidence in winning the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential nomination, asking, “Have I ever failed to win the ticket?”
