Mr. Tika Abu Bakr is now focused on nation-building
Mr. Fabi, could you share your final thoughts? You mentioned that Mr. Tika Abu Bakr is now focused on nation-building. If I’m wrong, please correct me. Would you support him at this point, suggesting that now is the time for him to endorse someone like Peter Obi as part of his commitment to the nation? Many people are questioning whether he wants to run for president again.
Thank you very much. First and foremost, I have not heard Mr. Atiku say that he plans to run. If you have heard him make such a statement, please let me know. However, he has valuable connections and a strong network across the country, along with many supporters who believe in his vision for the nation. These supporters are urging him to run. Mr.

Atiku is currently focused on how to reclaim this country because he believes it is not doing well. His priority is to figure out how to improve the situation.
He is distancing himself from the internal conflicts within the PDP, even though he remains a member of the party. Having clarified that, I want to highlight something important: history shows that a single party cannot defeat an incumbent government, especially one that is well-entrenched and uses intimidation tactics to maintain power.
This is why Mr. Atiku is calling for unity among opposition parties, whether it be Peter Obi or anyone else. He is advocating for a collective effort to address the issues facing our country—we have a responsibility to rescue it.
If Atiku decides today to heed the call of the majority of his supporters, I will back him because I believe in his ideals. I know he is healthy and mentally fit; his capabilities have nothing to do with age. For example, President Biden left office due to health issues, but Mr. Atiku does not share those concerns.
If he expresses the desire to run, I will fully support him. I have always supported him because I believe in what he represents, and many others share that belief as well. There is no reason anyone should be told to step down for someone else. If you want to challenge Mr. Atiku, you must meet him on the field during the primaries.
In the past, he faced opposition and overcame it, and there are concerns about his potential candidacy now. As far as I’m concerned, Nigerians should approach this issue with objectivity. This is not about emotional attachment but rather about identifying the right individual to lead and rescue our country.
