The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and former Delta State governorship aspirant, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, on Sunday said that ex-Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, remains the best bet for the opposition party to win the 2019 elections.
He
tipped Atiku as the PDP’s best candidate to challenge President
Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019
presidential election because Atiku has platforms across Nigeria.
Onuesoke said that Atiku’s promise of restructuring Nigeria is of utmost
importance to the people of Delta State and Nigeria in general.
Onuesoke
told The News men in Warri that Atiku’s emergence as PDP presidential
candidate is a reality and advised Deltans to put their political
differences aside and join forces to welcome Atiku to the state.
He
insisted that Atiku remains the best bet of the opposition PDP for
winning the 2019 presidential election, stressing that, “it will be the
best bet for PDP if Atiku wins the presidential ticket of the party
because there is no better political tactician or strategist in the PDP
than Atiku.”
He
added that Atiku had the capacity to create wealth, adding that the
former Vice President possessed the requisite qualities needed to defeat
Buhari as well as restore Nigeria to its past glory.
Onuesoke
said: “The man Atiku is a politician who has demonstrated maturity and
patience in keeping the country united. He respects the rule of law
which will in turn bring about fairness and justice to all citizens.
“He
believes in God’s willingness upon his life, that is why he has always
accepted any outcome of elections he participated with good faith since
the time of the late Musa Yar’Adua and MKO Abiola. He is the highest
employer of labour and has the technical know-how to move the economy of
Nigeria forward.
“Despite
all efforts to tarnish his good image, Atiku remains unindicted as all
the allegations against him have been proven to be baseless. As a
founding member of our great party, PDP, he deserves to lead us and the
entire nation to the promise land. A leader with such characteristics is
what Nigeria needs at this moment. It takes people like Atiku to fix
the problems we are faced with under this current administration,” he
said.
