Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Adamawa State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the party\u2019s presidential aspirants to seek the counsel of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n

Tahir Shehu, the state Chairman of the party, said those vying for the presidency should meet with Atiku on how to produce a formidable flag bearer in 2023.<\/p>\n

Shehu noted that other aspirants should meet with Atiku due to his broad political network in Nigeria and vast experience.<\/p>\n

He made the call at the party\u2019s Secretariat in Yola, the state capital, while receiving former managing director of New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC) Mohammed Hayatudeen.<\/p>\n

According to Shehu: \u201cIt is important for all aspirants vying for the presidency come 2023 to meet with Atiku for discussions on who emerges as flag bearer of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe resisted money temptation in the past and gave an equal level playing ground for all Aspirants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite clamour across Nigeria, the former Vice President is yet to declare his intentions to run for the 2023 Presidency.<\/p>\n

Amid his silence, there are indications that Atiku would run for the Presidency in 2023.<\/p>\n

He recently said he was yet to decide if he should run in 2023, due to the many challenges confronting Nigeria.<\/p>\n
