Only Atiku can reclaim Nigeria from Boko Haram, bandits, IPOB — Muazu, Shekarau





A former governor of Niger State, Muazu Babangida Aliyu on Monday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital described the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubarka as the most qualified person to take over power from President Mohammadu Buhari in 2023.

Aliyu, who was in Abeokuta in the company of former governors Ibrahim Shekarau (Kano) and Boni Haruna (Adamawa) rallied support for the presidential ambition of Atiku.


Addressing over 20 volunteer groups that gathered at the PDP Secretarial in Abeokuta to declare their support for the presidential ambition of Atiku, the former governor of Niger State, insisted that Atiku remains the healthiest candidate among those vying for the presidency.

Aliyu who took a swipe at the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was seen in a fitness video, said, Nigerians cannot be deceived by APC and its presidential candidate.


He insisted that Nigerians know the candidate who he mentally and physically capable of ruling Nigeria.

“I was looking through newspapers today and I saw a picture of somebody trying to prove he is healthy. If there is health, we don’t need to tell people that we are healthy, but we are aware that Atiku is the healthiest of the presidential candidates in this country”, Aliyu said.


He noted that, only Atiku can rescue Nigeria from Boko Haram, banditry and other security challenges confronting the country.

He said, “We need security and only an Atiku presidency can reclaim our land from Boko Haram, can reclaim our land from banditry, from IPOB and all other bad people that are making our lives difficult”.


“It is only an Atiku presidency that can restructure Nigeria. There must be a state police so as to ensure security in the local areas, only an Atiku Abubakar presidency can do that”.

“The economy is bad, there is extreme poverty in the land, therefore, members of PDP and fellow Nigerians, on the day of the election in February, elect Atiku Abubakar because the development of any nation depends on the education of that country”.

“You have seen what has happened to us, today our students in public universities have been at home for more than seven, eight months. Our secondary schools, many of them are so dilapidated that they cannot serve as secondary schools. Our elementary schools, there is no country that has over 20 million children out of school and you expect to be developed, only an Atiku Abubakar presidency can help us solve this problem”.

“We have become the poverty capital of the world, that should not be. We are expected to everyday produce 2.1 million barrels of crude oil, but only last month, we were able to produce 900,000, it has gone as low as 600,000. What is happening to the rest, some people are stealing it, are we saying that the current government does not know those who are stealing it? They know, therefore, voting for Atiku Abubakar is saving, is rescuing, is developing Nigeria”.

Also addressing the gathering, Haruna said “I want to appeal to you to join us as you make a commitment towards supporting him and he will deliver. We want to also appeal to you that now that the campaigns have started, we plead that this campaign should go to the wards, should go to the units.”

In his address, Adebutu urged the South West to support Atiku’s candidacy, saying “PDP is the party that can take you to the mainstream of Nigeria.”

He said, ” before the primaries, I told people that for the peace of Nigeria, let us all support Atiku Abubakar, some people were adamant, they insisted that it was the turn of Yoruba, but I told them Yorubas have ruled previously”.

“But some people because of their selfish interest don’t want Atiku to emerge as our candidate. You cannot lose your integrity because of a pot of porridge”.

“We cannot take Yorubaland out of the mainstream of Nigeria. Yorubaland must remain in the mainstream of Nigeria and PDP is the party that can take you to the mainstream of Nigeria”.

“I believe in one Nigeria. All those calling for the break up of Nigeria cannot withstand the destruction of war. We don’t want war, we cannot afford to be refugees, what we want is peaceful resolutions of our problems”.

“We have to move away from the concept of breaking Nigeria, we will not divorce, and our children will not suffer”.

“Even the countries that have stronger institutions than us can not afford to break up”.

“From the recent developments, it has shown that Atiku is a true leader. He has put himself in the position of a true elder. We want an elder that can rebuild the party and the country.”
