Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will today declare his presidential ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His declaration is, however, coming against the backdrop of his bid to be endorsed by a Southwest caucus of the party.
A statement by his media office in Abuja said the former Vice President would make his formal declaration at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja at 10am.
According to the statement, the activities marking the declaration would be a largely youth-focused event to emphasize Atiku’s passion for the challenges facing young men and women in the country.
Youth economic empowerment is one of Atiku’s cardinal objectives because he regards them as the fulcrum around which the development and future of the country revolves, the statement noted.
