On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, the former vice president proclaimed his desire to run in the 2023 presidential election at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.

The presidential candidate stated this at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, “the most fundamental right of every Nigerian is the right to life. But the APC has failed to protect the life of her citizens… under my Presidency I will not tolerate insecurity.

They said we should go back to farms. How can Nigerians return to the farms when you have not secured the farms?

When the APC came in 2015, they met a debt profile of N12tn. But now we have more than N32tn in debt. Under my watch, I will reduce borrowing.”

Atiku stated that his desire to run for president in 2023, as well as his “enduring persistence,” stems from his desire “to rekindle the Nigerian dream that I was privileged to live.”

Nigeria, he claimed, is currently a “sinking ship” that has to be rescued immediately.

I offer myself to rescue the sinking ship. Under my captainship, this ship will sail to a brighter course by the grace of God. However, this journey is not mine alone. It is a journey I am taking for all Nigerians. It is also a journey to a destination I planned with my late great mentor, Major General Shehu Musa Yar’adua, and with my beloved compatriot, the late, and great, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola. May their souls rest in peace.”

In the 2019 presidential election, Buhari, who ran under the All Progressives Congress (APC), received 285, 894 votes more than the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who received 218,207 votes.
