He coasted to victory after amassing 371 votes to defeat his closest rival, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike who garnered 237 votes.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has revealed what he will do when he becomes President.
Recall that he emerged as the party's flagbearer on Saturday at the convention.
He coasted to victory after amassing 371 votes to defeat his closest rival, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike who garnered 237 votes.
Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki came third in the party’s primary with a total of 70 votes.
In a chat with reporters on Sunday, Atiku’s Spokesman, Paul Ibe, said his principal would unite the country amidst the ethnic tension evident across major regions.
Ibe added that the former vice president would promote inclusiveness, enthrone a regime of security and restore peace and prosperity if elected as the next President in 2023.
He, however, called on leaders across various regions and parties to join hands with Atiku in uniting the country.
He said: “The situation that we have found ourselves in Nigeria today should teach us the morality of inclusiveness. Atiku as the candidate of the PDP has the whole of Nigeria as his electoral constituency.
“It will be good if leaders across the board can join hands to support a candidate who is ready to unify the country, enthrone a regime of security and restore peace and prosperity.”
