2019 Election: Atiku obtains nomination form, shed tears of joy
Presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar couldn’t contain his joy and hold back tears as he obtained the PDP nomination form today.
The former Vice President will contest for the sole presidential ticket with Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Sokoto governor Aminu Tambuwal.
It is Atiku’s third time of attempting to get his name on the party’s ballot paper as its presidential nominee.
“The event today is significant and historic because this is the only time in my political career that young men and women in this country have come together without my knowledge or even consent to contribute their own hard-earned money to buy me an Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms,” he said.
“You could have seen that one of the ladies who spoke virtually succeeded in getting me to weep. This is because she aptly described the challenges every Nigerian is facing in this country today and she believed honestly and sincerely from the bottom of her heart that I could be an instrument of addressing those challenges.
“So, for such a woman to believe that I have got those leadership qualities and including those of you who have brought out your monies to by this form, is one of the most serious challenges I have ever faced in my political career.
“And believe me, addressing those challenge is possible because we have brought young men and women, Nigerians who have got the talents, who have got the education, who have got the experience, who have got all what it take to honestly turn this country around.”
