Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, has dropped a message for Bola Tinubu over his emergence as the flagbearer of the APC..



Atiku in a message on Twitter on Wednesday said Tinubu won the presidential primary of the APC because of his tenacity.

The former vice president said: Congratulations Bola Tinubu, on your emergence as your party’s presidential candidate.

“It has been a hard-fought contest, but that you (Tinubu) prevailed confirms your tenacity.”

Tinubu on Wednesday polled 1271 votes in total to clinch the ticket ahead of former minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi, vice president Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Ahmad Lawan.

Amaechi was the closest to Tinubu with 316 votes.

Osinbajo, who many thought would give Tinubu a tough run, came third with 235 votes while Lawan polled 152 votes.
