Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has said that his battle against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in the general interest of the Nigerian nation.
He said at a world press conference held in Abuja on Thursday that the battle against the qualifications of Tinubu for the presidency was specifically aimed at installing good governance, accountability and probity in public service.
Atiku, who was accompanied at the briefing by some former state governors and PDP chieftains, vowed to fight the battle to a logical conclusion.
He appealed to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and that of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Rabiu Musa Kwankasso to join him in the struggle to enthrone legitimate and lawful government for the country.
Atiku insisted that the nation needs a legitimate government at the moment in the interest of future generations, adding that Nigeria is bigger than any individual.
The former Vice President called on well meaning Nigerians to join the struggle.
He said it was the duty of leaders to advance the well-being of the people during this type of trying period.
