Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that anybody who wishes to prevent him from realising his political ambitions must first become president of Nigeria.
In addition, the former vice president said that he was unconcerned by the plans of the so-called G-5 governors to back presidential candidates of their choosing.
He remarked that, as an elephant who has seen everything, he cannot be caught by surprise by the irate governors and that he has seen everything.
Atiku, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said any person boasting of having such powers to stop his presidential bid, should first make himself president.
His words: “Atiku will be president. Whether the cock crows or not, the sun must rise. Power belongs to God Almighty; no man can arrogate to himself the powers of God Almighty. Any man who can boast of stopping Atiku should first make himself president of Nigeria.
“Atiku is an elephant. Even when an elephant walks on thorns, it does not limp. And when you have seen a snake, it cannot bite you anymore. In this case, we have seen the snake, how can we be taken by surprise?”
