“The emergence of Atiku as the PDP’s flagbearer is the right step in the right direction and I am glad that the delegates got it right. He is the only candidate that is capable of sending APC packing and liberating our country.
“Atiku is a unifier and what Nigeria needs at this time. Never in the history of our country have we been this polarized and disunited with our unity seriously threatened. So, we actually need a man who has the capacity, and empathy to unite Nigeria, and Atiku is that man.”

Speaking further, Akinniyi who is also the Chief Strategist of AtikuKawai Media Group, a media and perception group for the engagement and strategising for the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar stated that among many things, Nigeria needs a blend of steady and experienced hands with the talents, initiative, flexibility, and drive of Nigeria’s talented, vibrant young men and women.
