The PDP candidate made the same promise during his campaign flag off for the South-east region in Awka, Anambra State, in December.
The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has restated his earlier promise to be a “stepping stone” to Igbo presidency.This is the third time the PDP candidate would make the promise to Igbos in the South-east.The PDP candidate also made the same promise during his campaign flag off for the South-east region in Awka, Anambra State, in December.
The South-east has a higher population of Igbos than the South-south, a neighbouring region with a lower population of Igbos. “Whether an Igbo man is from the South-east or from the South-south, it is the same race. And today my running mate is an Igbo man. Igbo is a universal ethnic group, a universal race,” Mr Atiku said.Mr Atiku asked residents of the state to join mainstream politics by voting all the PDP candidates in the state in the 2023 poll in order to get access to prosperity and development of the South-east.
“Atiku has continued to insult us by claiming he is the one to get us the presidency. He should first get himself presidency before promising the same to others,” he said.
