2019: Nigerians react as Atiku emerges PDP presidential candidate

Nigerians on social media have reacted to the emergence of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar as the People Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate.

DAILY POST had reported that Atiku polled the highest number of votes to defeat Tambuwal and 11 other contestants to clinch the ticket.

Reacting, some Nigerians congratulated him, while others claimed president Muhammadu Buhari would win 2019 election because of Atiku’s alleged corruption cases.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST

@ileowokikiowo, “Let me be the first to congratulate Nigeria’s President @MBuhari for winning a second term in 2019. Nigerians won’t vote the PDP presidential candidate who is wanted in the US for corruption related activities. His fellow fraudsters have served their own term in US prison.”

@Nedunaija, “Atiku will spend the whole of this campaign season struggling to deny corruption allegations.”

@Elcruficixo, “Congratulations to H.E Abubakar @Atiku who wins the PDP presidential primaries with a vote of 1585. Actually, my second favorite candidate.”

@Stanleynwabia, “@atiku is already a billionaire business man; he won’t be coming as President to use Nigeria’s money for his UK Healthcare.”

@doctorchiemeziem, “Who Atiku picks as his running mate will make or mar PDP’s chances in 2019. If he can’t get an astute manager like Peter Obi on board, he should get Okonjo Iweala or Femi Adesina on board let’s show APC what a national movement looks like.“
