Ahead of the 2015 general election, a group known as the League of Patriotic and Progressive Youth, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is the only candidate that has the political clout to deliver the presidency to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
A statement by its North central zonal coordinator, Dominic Alancha, said after various consultations with other youth groups in the country and leading political actors, “it is increasingly clear that only the former Vice President has the political stamina and sagacity to match the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP)”.
He added: “We therefore, urge the APC and all those who are strongly desirous of a viable alternative to the PDP, to heed our call and push for the candidacy of Alhaji Abubakar Atiku. On our part, we have commenced a nationwide mobilization towards achieving this modest target for APC”.
