I Am Not Desperate To Rule Nigeria - Atiku

Nigeria’s ex Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who today celebrates his 68th birthday, says he is not desperate to rule Nigeria but considers politics a good way of showing commitment through service.

Speaking November 25, Atiku, who is running for presidency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also vowed to end Boko Haram insurgency if elected.

The APC aspirant was characterized as a “a highly detribalized Nigerian politician”, “a bridge builder” and “a very corageous man” capable of facing Nigeria’s challenges.
