BEVERLY HILLS, December 03, (THEWILL) – Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who is also a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said on Wednesday that he whole-heartedly welcomes the choice of Lagos as the venue for the presidential primaries of the party scheduled to hold on December 10.
Atiku said in a statement issued in Abuja by his Media Office that he is not only delighted that Lagos has been selected to host such an august event but is also confident that the city has all it takes to ensure that the event will be memorable and successful especially in view of the cosmopolitan nature of the city and the famed easy going nature of its residents.
“It should also be pointed out that the city of Lagos to former Vice President is like a home, bearing in mind that he spent several years of his public service career there.
“I’m not any less Lagosian that anyone is. I have a house in Lagos and a part of my large family lives in Lagos. I visit Lagos regularly so I’m not a stranger to the cosmopolitan city and what it represents as the melting pot of Nigeria,” Atiku said.
The former Vice President therefore congratulated the Government and the people of Lagos State on the unique opportunity offered them by the APC to excel and showcase “the spirit of Lagos.”
