2019 presidency: Why Atiku should step down for me – Presidential candidate, Adesanya-Davies
MAJA, Prof. Mercy Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, has told the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
to step down for her.
According to her, since MAJA party and the PDP were members of the
Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, it was needful for the
emergence of a candidate for the coalition.
Adesanya-Davies said this when she received some Nigerian students who
paid her a courtesy call on the sidelines of World Student's Day.
The MAJA presidential candidate said the former Vice President Atiku
should step down for her on account of Atiku's age and also because
she is a woman.
She added that the odd favoured young candidates for the 2019 general elections.
"Since men have failed Nigeria, they should give women a chance to
emerge as the nation's next president and return the country back to
the path of progress," she said.
"The main topic of their discussion was on the prospect of her
emergence on the CUPP platform, as she hopes to be the next president
of Nigeria in 2019, having received the National Association of
Nigerian Students' NANS Outstanding Leadership in 2018 as well as the
students' endorsement.
"I will, in fact, seize this opportunity to appeal to Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar to kindly step down for me at the CUPP as President Buhari of
APC steps aside, because this time indeed is a-woman-youth-academician
ticket and a tip to the Middle-belt Christian Nigeria currently
bearing all the brunt of killings in the North.
"And that is where I come in," she said.
