Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked Northerners to reject candidates from the South during the 2023 general elections.
He said this while responding to a question asked by the spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, during an interactive session with Arewa Joint committee in Kaduna State on Saturday.
The PDP presidential candidate noted that Northerners should not vote for a Yoruba or Igbo presidential candidate but should rather cast their vote for him, describing himself as a Pan-Nigerian of northern extraction.

Atiku while responding to a question posed by Baba-Ahmed on why Northerners should support him, said, “What the average Northerner needs is somebody who’s from the north and also understands that part of the country and has been able to build bridges across the country.
He added, “This is what the Northerner needs, it doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate, I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of northern origin.”
