Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar claims he would have easily defeated former President Olusegun Obasanjo in the 2003 presidential elections had he contested against him.
According to THIS DAY, Atiku made the comment during a visit to Plateau. He said he was the only strong politician who fought Obasanjo in 2007 against of third term, a development that eventually brought stability in the polity of the country.
"I have been the vice-president of Nigeria for good eight years and nobody has broken my record till date. Nobody fought the military in this country for democracy like me, my mentor, the late General Shehu Yar’Adua lost his life in the course of this struggle, and I repeat, nobody fought for democracy like me, and for that reason, I am the most experienced politician among those contesting for presidency".
"Once I am elected the president of this great country, I shall increase the numerical strength of the military, and will also equip them with modern and sophisticated weapons".
"I shall as well increase their pay and ensure they are given adequate training that will make them contain any form of attack from insurgents", Atiku promised.
