ADC: I’ll Step Aside For Any Consensus Candidate – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that he is willing to step aside for any consensus candidate that may emerge within the coalition being built around the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He recently appeared during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Addressing questions on unity within the coalition and the process of selecting a presidential candidate, Atiku said that he would step aside in the interest of unity if any consensus candidate emerges, including Peter Obi.

He added that consensus remains the preferred option for the coalition party.

His words, “It’s not the issue of stepping aside, rather would I support? In the coalition, the first option would be to work out a consensus, if that doesn’t emerge then we go for direct primary and I will support anybody who emerges.

Consensus is the first option as far as the party is concerned, we will aim at consensus, if we don’t get it then we go for election.

I will step aside for any winner.”

WOW.
