Former Vice-President and presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, Atiku Abubakar has said he is still consulting with influential people towards his 2023 presidential ambition.
The seasoned politician promised to declare his intention at the appropriate time.
Atiku had visited former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) at his Uphill Residence in Minna, the Niger State capital, where they had a closed-door meeting for an hour.
He thereafter visited Governor Abubakar Sani Bello to commiserate with the state on the recent killings of some residents by bandits.
Adding to reporters after visiting the governor, Atiku said he was in the state on a courtesy visit and he could not leave without visiting General Babangida.
“I am on a courtesy call. That is all. On the 2023 presidential election, I will let you know at the appropriate time,” he said.
