“Alhaji Atiku that I know, is very much experienced and articulate in governance. This is a man ready to transform this country with his wealth of experience.
“Let me also use this medium to congratulate the entire Nigerians and the PDP for making a wise choice in Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.”
The former governor equally saluted the maturity and patriotism of other presidential aspirants, who displayed the spirit of sportsmanship during and after the convention.

“Every delegate must have his or her preferred aspirant during the convention, however only one aspirant must emerge as the party candidate. It is now time to put all our interest in one basket towards actualising the victory of PDP come next year presidential election and other elections,” Alh. Idris added.
He, therefore, assured Nigerians that the victory of Alhaji Abubakar Atiku next year will change the county’s narration for the better.
