Image result for Atiku AbubakarAlhaji Atiku Abubakar has scored a big moral booster ahead of the 2019 general elections as 41 opposition parties unanimously adopt him as their consensus presidential candidate. The parties arrived at this momentous decision when they put him on a scale and weighed him in line with his national acceptability, financial capacity, spread of his political party, leadership qualities,  International acceptability,  experience to rebuild the economy,  secure the country and unite all Nigerians among other factors; the coalition parties will formally meet with the PDP presidential flag bearer weekend according to a statement by its spokesperson Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere to formally kick off a joint campaign. When the Expose News met with Mr. Osagie Azonabor, Director of Contact and Mobilization for the Atiku PovertyCure Initiative Coalition, he said Atiku deserves the endorsement because Nigerians want real change and not the current deception by the ruling All Progressive Congress government. " Nigerians can no longer contend with this bloodshed, hunger, terror, insurgency, starvation and outright stealing by the APC government", he declared. Prodded to speak further, the director expressed disappointment in the ominous silence of President Buhari's  in the face of herdsmen onslaught and armed banditry ravaging the North not to mention the one sided federal appointments from a particular ethnic stock. He further decried the dirty situation where a single appointee is handed three portfolios while vacancies are hardly filled by the Buhari government.
