The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said he was not surprised at the action of the five aggrieved governors of the party, describing himself as an elephant, who can’t be stopped in 2023.
Noting that no one can play God, even as no one can crown a king except God agrees, Atiku challenged the aggrieved governors to make themselves president if they can.
Atiku spoke on Friday, through his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, in response to reports that the G5 governors, led by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, have foreclosed support for his presidential bid to endorse presidential candidates of their choice.
He challenged anyone who plans to stop him from achieving his political ambition, to first make himself the president of Nigeria.
“Atiku will be president. Whether the cock crows or not, the sun must rise. Power belongs to God Almighty; no man can arrogate to himself the powers of God Almighty. Any man who can boast of stopping Atiku should first make himself president of Nigeria.
“Atiku is an elephant. Even when an elephant walks on thorns, it does not limp. And when you have seen a snake, it cannot bite you anymore. In this case, we have seen the snake, how can we be taken by surprise?” he said.
