I’m Not Desperate To Be President – Atiku

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar has stated that he is not desperate to be Nigeria’s president.

The former Vice President made this known while fielding questions from newsmen in Benin on Tuesday, after visiting the Oba of Benin.

Atiku said: “What do you expect my critics to say. I can run as many times as I want. I am fit and qualified and I still have ideas to put this country on the right path. What is wrong in trying again and again.

“I am not desperate to become President. If I were desperate, I would have taken the presidency in 2003. If I were desperate, I would not have stepped down for Abiola. I have the interest of this country.”
