2023: 17 Political Parties in Delta Endorse Atiku for President

 

A former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has been endorsed by leaders of 17 political parties and civil society groups in Delta State to become President in 2023.

 

The leaders endorsed Atiku on Sunday.

 

The endorsement is coming on the heels of demands by governors of the 17 southern states for a president of southern extraction.

 

A coalition of Atiku Support Groups Initiative which announced the endorsement argued that ethnicity or political affiliation should not be the determining factor in who becomes president in 2023.

 

Director General of the ‘CASGI ATIKU 2023, Mr. Obinna Okorie, said this during the inauguration of the group in Asaba.

 

Okorie said, “Today’s Nigeria has witnessed the highest level of insecurity, unemployment, youth restiveness and acute borrowing with unproductivity, which have endangered our great nation.
