Presidential aspirant at the just-concluded Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, has congratulated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for emerging presidential candidate of the opposition party in the 2019 general elections.
In a congratulatory letter, Turaki who competed with Atiku and 10 others for their party’s nomination at the convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, noted that Atiku’s victory bore eloquent testimony to his prowess as a formidable politician with a vast network of supporters.
The former minister of special duties and intergovernmental affairs said also that the emergence of the former vice president as PDP’s presidential candidate attested to his widely-acknowledged attribute of building bridges of friendship across the various divides in the country.
Turaki, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, noted that Atiku has the requisite knowledge, experience and political sagacity to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) or any other candidate that may want to pose a formidable challenge to him and their party at the presidential poll.
He noted further that the same attributes of knowledge, experience and political astuteness which the former Vice President has garnered in both the public and private sectors as well as in politics, stand him in good stead to tackle contemporary challenges facing the nation.
While wishing Atiku good health, God’s guidance and provision as he embarks on another campaign trail, this time to secure the votes of the electorate, Turaki assured him of his full support and collaboration and that of his political organisation and network to ensure resounding victory at the 2019 presidential election.
