Waziri Adamawa and Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has ask Nigerian youths to join the Presidential race and compete with the elders if they want to rule the nation.<\/div>\n
\n
Atiku who spoke with newsmen after a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, said politics is competition for all regardless of age.Asked to react to calls on older politicians to leave the stage for the youths, Atiku said the youths should also contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the youth compete. It is competition. It\u2019s a democracy,\u201d Atiku replied.<\/p>\n

He revealed that he would declare his 2023 ambition to contest soon.<\/p>\n

Atiku also expressed confidence that he would win the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asking, \u201cHave I ever failed to win the ticket?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to meet my boss. We will let you know when I\u2019ll declare, we will give a formal announcement,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Atiku later met with the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo in his palace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
