2023 Presidency: Tinubu Congratulates Atiku, Calls him A Worthy Opponent

A presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has congratulated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on his victory at the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement on Sunday, Tinubu believes Atiku, who will now fly the main opposition party’s flag again in the 2023 general elections, will be a worthy opponent.

“I welcome the victory of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the just concluded primary,” he said. “I look forward to squaring up with him as a worthy opponent in the coming election.”

Atiku will be contesting for the highest office in the land for the sixth time having lost to President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling APC in the 2019 polls.
