The National Youth Leader, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mohammed Suleiman, has said the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is more grounded in grassroots politics than his rival in All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Answering questions from reporters shortly after the inauguration of Atiku United Front, North West party leaders, Suleiman said Tinubu was just mingling with politicians in power without grassroots base.
He said anybody comparing Tinubu kind of politics to late MKO Abiola is bound to commit political sin because Abiola was known in every nook and cranny of the country like Atiku.
However, the National youth leader assured that PDP will win the 2023 election, saying incumbency factor notwithstanding.
“PDP will win 2023 election because things have changed from 2015 to now because the APC government promised the people to provide security, power, good education and so many other things. But they have failed to secure lives and property of the people. This time around ,the people have seen the political atmosphere; things have changed. So the people are solidly behind PDP.
“PDP is not afraid of incumbency factor because we were in power in 2015 and we lost the election. This time around we are coming back to take back power, and we are not afraid of incumbency. The APC government has promised fair, free and credible election.
