He made his interest known on Tuesday during a meeting with the PDP leaders in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Atiku, the presidential candidate of the main opposition party in the 2019 general elections, asked for another opportunity to represent the PDP in the coming poll. If given the ticket to fly the party’s flag when Nigerians go to the poll next year, he also promised to build bridges across the regions.
