2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said he will continue to vie for the number one office in the land as long as he is alive and healthy.
Justifying the number of times he had contested without making headway, the former vice-president said even the former President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln contested seven times before his eventual victory.
Atiku said this during an interview on the Hausa service of the Voice of America.
“Of course, I will keep contesting again and again as long as I am alive and healthy,” Atiku said. “Even the former US President Abraham Lincoln contested seven times before finally winning.”
The 77-year-old, who will be 81 in 2027 for the country’s next general election, also spoke about the current crisis in the PDP, affirming that its members have to be united to win the election.
