Adamu Abubakar, the son of Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that his father has plans to contest the 2023 presidential election.
“Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with my father contesting for the presidency. In 2023, my father will be aspiring to the number one office in the land because he has been an astute, strategic, master politician for almost four decades”, he said in a statement quoted by The Punch.
Adamu Abubakar who currently serves as commissioner for works and energy in Adamawa State, made the statement while marking the one-year performance of his ministry under the leadership of Governor Ahmadu Finitiri of the state.
The commissioner also expressed the possibility of his running for the senatorial seat of his constituency.
