A chieftain of the APC in Niger State, Dr. Mohammed Santuraki, has called on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party and other stakeholders not to underrate the opposition PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
In an interactive session with journalists in Suleja yesterday, Santuraki said it would be disastrous to wave aside the former vice president as a featherweight.
He said Atiku was a formidable opponent that must be taken seriously and that the party must evolve a strategic roadmap and plan of action aimed at defeating, not just Atiku, but the PDP at all levels of election come 2019.
He said the various disputes that came up in the course of APC’s national and state assemblies’ primaries must be quickly resolved ahead of the general elections.
He expressed satisfaction with the measures taken towards resolving the post primaries crises.
