Backstage permutations for the 2023 presidential race in Nigeria has started with some surprising re-alignment across the two leading political parties in the country- the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential elections, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has charged Nigerians to support and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
“He was a quiet and modest achiever. He was one of the big brains behind the monetization programme of the Obasanjo administration. He also streamlined and harmonized the activities of several sectors of government from ministerial schedules to Federal Executive Council memos,” Atiku said in his funeral tribute to former SGF Ufot Ekaette.
