A bipartisan organization, the Osinbajo Support Group, has endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
On Thursday in Abuja, the groups issued a statement signed by Mr. Sunnie Chukumele, Chairman, and Mr. John Elemi, Secretary, on their behalf.
The groups stated that they made their decision based on Atiku’s track record as a savvy politician and experienced public servant.
According to the groups, Abubakar has demonstrated over time that he does not have lofty ambitions, as he has made sacrifices for the country’s political stability.
“In our analysis before arriving at a choice of candidate to support outside the APC candidate, we looked at critical variables, comparing the present and future of our dear country.
“He is the most qualified of all the candidates based on cognate experience at the presidency of Nigeria, haven served as Vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for years.
“Abubakar has built and maintained social bridges and networks of lasting friendships across every constituency in Nigeria. He has an eternal relationship with all regions of Nigeria,” the group said.
The group said it was convinced that Abubakar has the political experience and network to lead the country.
“At this material time in our national history, the Southwest and South-South and the Northwest have taken shots at the presidency, leaving out the Southeast, North Central, and Northeast.
“The Constitution of Nigeria has always guaranteed equity and fairness as an enabler for a just society.
“Be it known to everyone, that the leaders of these support groups and stakeholders have undertaken this migration on their own as consenting adults without the prompting and mandate of Osinbajo,” the groups said.
