Atiku, commenting on his victory, promised to work for the development of the country if elected president. He also considered it as an honour to emerge as the Presidential candidate of Nigeria’s opposition party.

He said, “Today, the march to rebuild and unite our great country moves forward. I am honoured to be named the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. I look forward to speaking with Nigerians across the country, taking the message of hope and unity as we build one future for one people”.

Recall that Atiku was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 elections won by President Muhammadu Buhari. His main rival in the 2023 elections would be revealed when the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) picks its candidate next week.
