My Father’ll Contest 2023 Presidential Election – Atiku’s Son
Adamu Atiku-Abubakar, son of former vice president, has disclosed that his father will contest the 2023 presidential election.
Adamu stated this while presenting the scorecard of his ministry as the Commissioner for Works and Energy in Adamawa State, as the administration of governor Ahmadu Finitiri marks one year in office, The PUNCH reports.
He said: “Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with my father contesting for the presidency. In 2023, my father will be aspiring to the number one office in the land because he has been an astute, strategic, master politician for almost four decades”.
He added that Fintiri’s administration has surpassed the expectations of many in the state, saying that the governor has fulfilled most of his campaign promises to the electorate, despite insufficient revenue.
According to him, his coming late into politics is as a result of the advice from his father, who urged him to spend more time in the private sector to gain enough experience, which will be crucial for him in public life.
He noted that he will represent his people at the national assembly if they call on him.
“I am basically here to serve my people; if I am called by the people back home to run for the Senate, I don’t see anything wrong with that,” he further stated.
