Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar broke down in tears on Friday as he picked up his Expression of Interest and nomination forms at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Abuja.
Atiku could not control his emotions as he was presented with the forms by the Atiku Support Group (ASG) who purchased it for him.
Speaking at the occasion, Atiku said, “The event today (purchase of nomination form) is significant and historic because this is the only time in my political career that young men and women in this country have come together without my knowledge or even consent to contribute their own hard-earned money to buy me an Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.”
He encouraged his supporters to follow him to the party secretariat as he goes to submit the forms as this would send a strong signal to the party.
