Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar met with the Senate Caucus of the People’s Democratic Party in Abuja on Wednesday.
He told the senators that he had the mental and physical energy to serve the Peoples Democratic Party and Nigerians as the President.
He also said his passion for the country was the driving force for seeking the PDP’s ticket for the office of President.
He stated, “When we get into power, I want to work in harmony with the National Assembly and protect constitutional independence and freedom. Most of the changes we want to bring require constitutional adjustment and that cannot happen without cooperating with the National Assembly.
“I want to ensure a smooth and careful legislative process. I will give my best and work with politicians and great resourceful people in our party; I have the mental and physical energy to serve our party to the fullest.
“Above all, it is my passion for the progress of this country that drives my quest for the Presidency of this country.”
Speaking after the meeting, Atiku said: “The responses from the Senators about the prospects of fixing Nigeria and bringing prosperity to our people are reassuring. I thank you all Distinguished Senators for making time for tonight’s interaction.”
