When in August 2022, the Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Aminu Iya Abbas, asserted that as far as the 2023 presidential election was concerned, the odds favoured thel candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, he was merely restating what many discerning Nigerians already knew and had been echoing in private and public gatherings.
Abbas, speaking on the sidelines of a capacity building workshop for lawmakers from Adamawa State organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), said of all the presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar “is the most experienced as far as party politics is concerned and being a former vice president, presidency will not be new to him, let alone learning the ropes as it would be required for any other person”.
