The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar on Saturday in Kaduna met with the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum and other northern socio-political organisations where he unveiled his agenda and campaign manifesto to them.
Addressing northern leaders drawn from the Arewa Consultative Forum, Jamarry Matan Arewa, and other northern socio-cultural organisations, the former Vice President assured that if he is elected president in 2023, he will tackle the insecurity that has been ravaging the region under the present APC-led administration, revive the nation’s ailing economy and above all, reunite the different parts of the country.

Atiku also said that the credential of national inclusivity, not ethnicity should be an ideal that the northern part of the county should examine in electing a new President for the country in the 2023 elections.
He noted that with a political career that spanned more than three decades, he stood shoulder-high as a northerner who had built bridges of unity across the country.
Atiku said;
I have been in politics for more than three decades and I am a northerner. So, if you ask me why I am the best candidate to lead Nigeria in 2023, I will simply say that what Nigeria needs is a pan-Nigerian President, not whether he is Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa-Fulani.
