Atiku stands a better chance of dislodging Buhari – Group

A pro-democracy outfit promoting political ideology of former Vice president Atiku Abubakar, Atiku Global Support Group (AGSG), has said Atiku stands a better chance to win the next presidential elections in 2019.

While inaugurating its National Executive Committee (NEC) in Abuja on Tuesday, National Coordinator of AGSG, Alhaji Gambo Jagindi, said the group emerged out of desire to galvanise massive support for Atiku to become President in 2019.

Jagindi, who described Atiku as an embodiment of democracy, said the movement was inspired by his enviable profiles which undoubtedly distinguished him among many politicians in the country.

According to him, Atiku has contributed immensely to the development of democracy and democratic institutions in Nigeria, thereby deserves to be reciprocated by all Nigerians, especially the youth.

He urged the executive member to evolve strategies on how to mobilise no fewer than 15 million eligible voters for Atiku across the nook and crannies of the country.

The group, he explained, was working round the clock to win the support of both members of PDP and other electorate to actualise the political ambition of Atiku.
