The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that he is the road to an Igbo administration in Nigeria.
According to news sources, the former Vice President made the statements on Tuesday at the PDP Presidential campaign rally held at Michael Okpara Square in Enugu, the state capital of Enugu.
Atiku advised his supporters in the state to remain optimistic that the country would soon be led by an Igbo president. He also asked them to stay faithful to the PDP because Enugu is a stronghold for the party.

The PDP presidential candidate indicated that Nigerians are prepared to elect him and asked Enugu residents to join the other Nigerians wanting to vote for the PDP in order to avoid being in the minority.
He said: “I want to let you know that this country is geared towards electing a PDP government. Do not be an exception and do not be a minority.
“I want to say that I am very pleased with the attendance and the crowd I have seen here in Enugu today.
“Whoever says there is no PDP in Enugu is not saying the truth. There is PDP in Enugu and Enugu has been PDP from inception and is still PDP today, and will continue to be PDP.
“When I came here a few months ago to attend a zonal conference of the south-east, I said to the Igbo that I am going to be the stepping stone to the Igbo presidency, and I mean it.
Whether an Igbo man is from the south-east or south-south, it is the same race and today, my running mate is an Igbo man. It is a universal ethnic group; it is a universal race.

“So, my fellow brothers and sisters, the people of Enugu state, I want you to continue believing and I want you to continue supporting the PDP because PDP is Enugu and Enugu is PDP.
“The next government is going to be formed by the PDP. Therefore, as you have always been, be in the mainstream of Nigerian politics because that is the only way that can bring about the prosperity, economic development, peace, and security you are looking for in this part of the country and the country in general.
“So, we want to thank you very much indeed for turning up in great numbers to attend this rally and we promise you Enugu state will continue to receive the required attention it has always received.”
