Mr Osita Okechukwu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC has asked former vice president, Atiku Abubakar to step out of the presidential race for former military head of state, Muhammadu Buhari.
Okechukwu said that since Atiku had openly declared that he shared similar belief with Buhari, he(Atiku) should step down and support the former head of state.
Okechukwu urged Atiku to step down ahead ahead of primaries. His words, "I am making this passionate appeal on many grounds, one the bitterness, rancour and ill temper which a gruesome monetised primary will most likely generate ; will definitely scuttle the earnest yearning for regime change".
Speaking further on why Atiku should step down for Buhari, the APC Chieftain said, "Secondly, is it not better to harvest the celestial bond between Buhari and Nigerian masses and the middle class, a bond which made it possible for him to garner over 12 million votes in 2011 presidential election?
Thirdly, Buhari no doubt is better equipped more than any of our eminent presidential aspirants to prosecute the 1st Cardinal Program of APC - war against corruption and national re-orientation, given his antecedents in public service.
Do you agree should Atiku step down for Buhari? Let's hear from you by your comment!!!
