Former Vice President, Alhaji Abubarkar Atiku has said he will defeat other aspirants, including General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), jostling for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest next year’s Presidential election.

Atiku, who was in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Saturday to meet with party leaders and delegates of the party, said the reception he had received since he has been moving around the country wooing delegates showed he was the candidate to beat and would indeed clinch the party’s ticket.

Pointedly, the former Vice President said the popularity of his main challenger; Buhari is only in the media as realities on ground in many of the states visited showed otherwise.

His words: “As I move around, I count my delegates and by the time I conclude, I should be okay.”
On the popularity of Buhari among the Southwest leaders and delegates, Atiku said: “I don’t think so, it is more of media hype, it is you people that are writing that one, but by the things on ground, I think I am far ahead.”
