His words:
“What’s most important in our nation today is unity. We have been divided along ethnic and religious lines and that has eaten so deep into our coexistence as a nation.
"We need a liberal Nigerian who has no history and has never been accused of ethnic or religious bigotry."
"Check Peter and Wike and check Atiku. Atiku has one Nigeria in his household. He has married across ethnic and religious."
Ubandoma also said that Atiku has built a bridge with his family and children with uncles and aunties across the nation.
According to him, Atiku has done it in his family, and he can do it with Nigerians.
Corruption allegations against Atiku Abubakar
Addressing issues of corruption in Nigeria, Ubandoma said Atiku is not a corrupt politician.
He also challenged anyone or group of persons who has evidence against the former vice president to present such for further scrutiny and prosecution.
He said:
“Atiku isn’t a corrupt politician, I do not understand what pleasure they drive making this allegation.
"Let me tell you that Atiku has never been a friend of any government since he left office, he has a record of speaking the truth to power without fear of persecution, If he’s corrupt you think this APC regime will allow him?"
"He has dared anyone with any evidence of corruption against him to come forward and even get a bounty till today no one did."
"He’s not corrupt and his efforts in the fight against corruption are much better than what Buhari and his regime have.”
