Former Vice President and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC has reportedly declared his ambition to vie for the presidency in 2019.

A video showing the former vice president was obtained Thursday night by journalists in Abuja from a source who pleaded anonymity.

In the video, Atiku said:

“I am Atiku Abubakar, the poor boy from Jada, Adamawa state. I am a true democrat, a believer in the rule of law and a fighter for justice and equity. I believe in this country. If we work together under a focused and visionary leadership, we will make this country a stable and prosperous nation. I have the vision, the courage, the experience to lead this country. It is time to give back. I am ready to serve.”

The video had pictorial illustrations like; “Atiku…Nation on a rescue mission, Proudly Atikunation, we walk together; Nigeria of our dream, think Atiku; Atikunation 2019, if not Atiku then who?”
