PDP tweeted: “2023, The @OfficialPDPNig presidential candidate @atiku is committed to working assiduously to achieve a united, secure and economically viable Nigerian that will work for all citizens irrespective of their social status, religious, ethnic or political biases.”
The image alongside the tweet insinuated that Atiku was instrumental to the recruitment of the individuals under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
