For Buhari and Atiku, it’ll be Eagle vs Eagle —Bakare
The Convener of Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on
Sunday congratulated Atiku Abubakar on his emergence as the Peoples Democratic
Party presidential candidate.
According to Bakare, Atiku’s victory would make the 2019
election keen and interesting.
Bakare, Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, spoke to
newsmen in Ikeja after making a speech on Nigeria’s 58th Independence
anniversary in his church.
“I congratulate Atiku; he makes the issue in 2019 more
robust.
“It is not going to be an Eaglet versus an Eagle, but an
Eagle versus Eagle: an old eagle versus new eagle and probably both of them old
eagles.
“I Bakare said Atiku, just like Buhari, has the experience,
the exposure and the acceptance expected of the country’s president.
He, however, pointed out that having those qualities alone
would not translate into victory for him, as the electorate would decide the
parameters on which to elect the next president.
“I can’t say that Atiku will win or lose. You see, I am not
advocating for him. Among all the aspirants who contested the PDP ticket with
him, he is perhaps the most cosmopolitan; he is a Wazobia man.
“He was vice-president for eight years, and he inherited
something from late Yar’Adua that he had held on to so effectively.
“He has been a businessman with business acumen and he has
the exposure.
“But you see, that is not what qualifies you to win. A lot
comes into play; so, again, I can not say whether he will win or lose,” Bakare
said.
wish President Muhammadu Buhari the best in 2019.
