The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, on Saturday urged the PDP leaders and members to focus on rebuilding the party.

He urged them not to focus on the 2023 elections but to strengthen the party.

Atiku, in a tweet on his personal verified twitter handle @atiku, noted that there were challenges before the party.

He tweeted, “Our preoccupation at this point in the @OfficialPDPNig should not focus on elections but on rebuilding and strengthening our party for the challenges ahead of us. –AA”

The tweet drew reactions.

Dokuno Ojomo @DokunOjomo urged Atiku to give special positions to hard-working youths.

He said, “As we rebuild the PDP for the challenges ahead, I urge you to give special positions to hard-working youths that have done their best for the PDP.”

Another commentator, Susan @SusanHenshaw50, said, “No matter what this party does, it may want to consider not disrespecting Nigerians again, by putting its worst foot forward. If there are no people with clean backgrounds, please don’t present any candidate in ’23. Sit it through.”
