Very soon you will have answersto this question by His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cICG was initiated by me, Hon. Fateema Abubakar. My team, some of who are in the national and state executives, bought into the idea and together we contacted all those who sincerely desired to see the end of hardship in Nigeria, the kind of hardship Nigerians have been experiencing since this government came into power in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all agreed that the best candidate that can reconcile all the ethnic groups, tribes in Nigeria, restore our economy and move Nigeria to the desired Promised Land where she rightly belongs is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2019 is certainly the Atiku year. The signs are there. If you care to know, Atiku, as we speak, is Nigeria\u2019s largest private employer of labour with over 50,000 employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDangote probably comes next with 26,000 employees. That tells you that Atiku is the best person to be given the job to change the Nigerian economy positively in the next dispensation. And these are the very reasons Nigerian are ready to vote him into power in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muhammed further said Abubakar made the best decision by resigning from the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n<p>She added that she would advise him to return to the PDP despite the crisis that plagued the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, he took the best decision by resigning from APC and this certainly will advance his political career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will prefer he continues with PDP. There\u2019s no organization without crisis. As small as a nuclear family is, it is not without crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the advise issued to Abubakar to beg former President Olusegun Obasanjo if he is to have a stake in the 2019 election, Muhammed said, \u201ceveryone in Nigeria has something to contribute to Atiku\u2019s political aspiration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we have to cast our votes in for him to win the next presidential election.
