Atiku's aide explains ex-VP strategy
He said the image the 2023 PDP presidential candidate has built over the years has afforded him a wealth of clout that many ambitious politicians in the party, who are also vying for public offices, would want to leverage as a propellant to achieve their personal goals.
He said many senatorial hopefuls would want to ride on the safe wing of Atiku and, as a result, they will be the ones who will do the heavy work of flipping delegates for him.
He dismissed past reports of Atiku, a serial winner of primaries, spending hard currencies during the primary elections in the PDP to buy support.
Atiku willing to accept defeat
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Atiku had expressed willingness to support a younger candidate on the ADC platform if he loses at the primary.
He said, during an interview with BBC Hausa, that he will fully back anyone who emerges victorious in the primary elections.

Many quickly pointed out the concessionary tone in the message, especially since it came at a time when competition is at its peak.
Atiku, however, had rejected suggestions that he might be positioning himself between the ADC and his former party, assuring that his chapter in PDP is over.
He left the party after he said he had irreconcilable differences with the new direction the party is going.
Shehu mentions implications of Atiku's PDP exit
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that controversial critic Mahdi Shehu on Wednesday, July 16, asserted that "there is a great lesson for people to learn" from the resignation of Atiku Abubakar from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reacting to Atiku's exit from the PDP, Shehu said, 'by resigning to join the league of his several sworn foes, detractors and enemies, means Atiku is yet to learn political survival instincts.'
According to him, "I would rather remain within than just fizzle away to an uncertain destination."
