Atiku Abubakar, the nominee of the Peoples Democratic Party, is expected to win handily in the upcoming presidential election in February 2023, according to supporters of the former vice president.
According to them, the PDP candidate would win with or without the backing of the five governors who are not currently taking part in the party’s electioneering.
Atiku’s supporters noted that the candidate’s unity crossed beyond party lines and that all well-meaning Nigerians, regardless of their political and religious views, should support the effort to rescue the country from “the afflictions” of the previous seven and a half years.

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Committee’s Director of Strategic Communication, Chief Dele Momodu, claimed in an interview with Newsmen that Atiku stood out from the other candidates in the battle for Aso Rock.
“There is no candidate today that can stop Atiku Abubakar from becoming President of Nigeria. None of the candidates has his pedigree, exposure, competence, temperament, and network. He has paid his dues, having staked his life in the growth and development of democracy in Nigeria in the past 29 years. His crowning glory will come in 2023.
“I heard one of the G5 governors saying yesterday that he will announce his preferred presidential candidate in January. We hope they will announce Atiku but with or without the support of these governors, Atiku is winning the election. He will become the President of Nigeria. This is not rhetoric.
“Everyone contesting can list thousands of reasons they should be voted for but we need a man who is an expert at job creation, a unifier, a Nigerian that Nigerians can trust. Wherever he is called to share his vision, he goes there no matter how inconvenient it is. Unlike those who run away from town halls, Atiku is always available to speak about the issues. While others attack him, his focus is on the issues. We do hope these candidates will man up to debate him on issues of security, job creation, economy, sports, infrastructure, and what have you,” he said.
Similar to this, Timothy Osadolor, a national officer of the party, labeled the governors of Rivers State, Abia, Oyo, Benue, and Enugu states, respectively, Okezie Ikpeazu, Seyi Makinde, Samuel Ortom, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as a group of leaders that no one took seriously any longer.
