Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, monday
submitted his Expression of Interest and nomination forms, seeking the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with an undertaking to remain loyal to the party no matter the outcome of the presidential primaries.

Atiku’s position came just as the Adamawa State
executive committee of the party endorsed his
ambition to fly the flag of the APC at the presidential election next year.

Speaking while submitting his forms at the party’s
national secretariat in Abuja, Atiku promised to
transform and uplift the economic indices of the
country if elected president.
“ I want to thank you and the party for the
opportunity given us first of all as the first to collect
this forms, I also want to thank you for the
opportunity again to be the first to return the forms.
“Let me assure you Mr. Chairman that we will
continue to be loyal and dedicated party members
no matter the outcome of this election, “ he said.
Atiku, as it turned out, was the first to pick and also
to return completed forms to the party. He said he
took time to fill out the forms and obtained the
mandatory signatories from all the 109 senatorial
zones in the country.

The APC National Chairman's Comment

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, who received the forms, commended Atiku for always striving to put the nation first.
“I have known you very well. I know what you are
doing and with everyday that passes, with what all of you are doing, it means that APC has become more popular.”
“I also want to say that in my movements, I have
come across your footsteps all over the place, just as I have come across the footsteps of other aspirants and I want to say thank you very much because the flag is been spread around the nook and cranny of this nation,” he said.

Oyegun thanked the APC presidential aspirants for
taking the decision to rally around whoever emerges the party’s flagbearer, mandating them not to relent.

He added that the need for change had become
inevitable, citing the purported impeachment of the
Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly by
seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members out
of 26 members.
“PDP is imposing impunity out of fear. Boko Haram is harassing everybody; they are still keeping the
Chibok girls. That is the kind of thing all of you APC
aspirants must bear in mind. We are dealing with a
nation where they (PDP) don’t know what to do. I am saying this for you to know the huge responsibility expected of you,” Odigie-Oyegun stated.

APC Adamawa State Pledges Support For Atiku

Meanwhile, members of the Adamawa APC State
Executive Committee led by its chairman, Hon. Binta Masi Garba, met yesterday evening and unanimously resolved to give Atiku their full backing towards realising his ambitions to create a Nigeria for all.

She told the gathering that the party stakeholders in Adamawa were thrilled by the former Vice-
President’s commitment “to job creation, improving
the economy, education, infrastructure, transparency in government and the overall welfare of Nigerians.”
“It is on this note that the entire members of the
State Executive Committee who are all here,
supported by the party chairmen in all the local
government areas representing the APC in Adamawa State hereby endorse the Turaki Adamawa for the 2015 Presidential election.
“The party, therefore, urges all APC faithful in the
state to support this gesture and also give Atiku
Abubakar their full backing. The people of Adamawa
must unite to ensure that the 2015 elections bring
about the change that we all seek, “ he said.

Wish him well although I don't see him winning the primaries.

Yes. In the body of the report, it says that he "submitted". I think there is a world of difference between "submit" and "return" in this context.

The topic is quite misleading.

Correction made, thanks for the observation. It's worthy note though how medai houses in Nigeria often mislead us, that's the caption on Vanguard website.

It's all about fair game. Let the best candidate win in the primaries.

Atiku just wasted N27.5 million
