Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will contest the 2023 presidency, his son, Adamu Atiku-Abubakar, has said.
Adamu, who is the commissioner for works and energy in Adamawa State, stated this while presenting the score card of his ministry to mark the first year of Governor Ahmadu Finitiri in office.
“Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with my father contesting for the presidency.
“In 2023, my father will be aspiring to the number one office in the land because he has been an astute, strategic, master politician for almost four decades,” he said.
Atiku has had several runs for the Nigerian presidency.
The last was in 2019 when he contested as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, losing to President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
