We believe that Atiku Abubakar is the most experienced, the most capable and the most willing to be able to provide such leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are, therefore, asking General Shehu Yar\u2019adua\u2019s colleague, his younger brother, whom he brought into politics, who understands why the General wanted to come and rescue the country, that Waziri Atiku Abubakar is competent and capable of making sure that General Shehu Yar\u2019adua\u2019s dream is achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking earlier, the PDP Chairman, Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, appealed to aggrieved members of the Party in the State who left for one reason or the other to come back and join forces to ensure victory for the Party in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can only win when we are united and committed.
