Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed confidence that Nigerians will return the Peoples Democratic Party to power in the 2023 presidential election.
Atiku, who urged politicians to respect the party’s electoral guideline and the nation’s constitution in the election, said democracy can only triumph in a free and fair environment.
Speaking shortly after casting his vote at the PDP congress in Adamawa State, he said the party would set the pace for others in electoral transparency.
“ You can see that it (congress) is transparent and credible. Over time, we have developed the spirit of consensus both at the state and national levels. I believe these are the basis for the confidence Nigerians now have in the PDP, to vote back the PDP into power,” he said.
Over 2,614 delegates across the 21 local government areas of the state participated in the exercise.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri also participated in the exercise.
The party’s election screening committee headed by Mamu Alhaji Mohammed had earlier cleared 39 aspirants for various positions.
