2019: Group threatens to sue Atiku if….

A civil society organisation, the Intellectual Think Tank for Advancement Initiative (ITTA), has threatened to drag Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to court if fails to contest the 2019 presidential elections on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The group said the former Vice President must contest the elections because he has the pedigree to build a robust economy, create jobs and wealth for the Nigerians and subsequently move the country forward.
Chairman of the group, Theophilus Ohuoba, who said this in Abuja yesterday was confident that Atiku has what it takes lead and called on him to declare his intention to run in 2019.
“We therefore call on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to immediately make public his intension to run for the presidency of this country come 2019 or we shall collectively drag him to court for denying Nigerians of his good services.
“We also call on all other social organisations to immediately join hands in this crusade to restore Nigeria’s lost glories by promptly declaring for an Atiku Presidency in 2019,’’ he said.
The group was upbeat that Atiku’s presence in the race would not only give credibility to the exercise but would ginger the younger generation to participate massively in the general elections.
“Security of lives and properties of both Nigerians and foreigners alike will be assured and he will restructure Nigeria in a way that the North, South, East and West will be better for it. “We have never been this divided along ethnic, religious and tribal lines.
“Atiku will be the first professional, liberal minded, accommodating, detribalised and successful businessman politician; Nigeria will have as a president.
“He has been tested and trusted. He alone knows the right buttons to press that will re-gig the economy. He is a great communicator; he has a listening ear, a unifying factor that will put us back together to be one strong united Nigeria as it was in the beginning,’’ the chairman said.
