A Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to ensure the realisation of an Igbo presidency if the South-East support his presidential bid in 2023.
Speaking when he met with Abia State Special Delegates to the PDP National convention at the Government House Banquet Hall in Umahia, Atiku said it was wrong for anyone to label him as anti-east, noting, “the south-east is my rally point”.
“Your aspiration as Igbo people will materialise and be realised. So, give me victory so that your aspiration will be realised.
“Together, we can achieve these goals if we unite as PDP and fight for power.
“I came with these objectives and if you should be able to give me this opportunity, I believe we will work together to achieve this,” he noted.
The former vice president said he would work with a five-point development agenda if he becomes the next President come 2023.
He listed the development agenda to include; instituting symbols of unity, and dealing with insecurity, the economy, education, and restructure of the country.
