Atiku arrived at the PDP headquarte­rs in Kaduna at 6:30pm to a mammoth crowd of supporters.

Shortly after addressing delegates, the presidenti­al aspirant had stepped out to find a group of broadcast journalist­s stationed to interview him but his security team had stepped in to shove journalist­s while snatching and flinging microphone­s away.

Our correspond­ent reports that the incident occurred just 24 hours after the former vice president’s security team harassed journalist­s in Jos, the Plateau State capital and damaged their working tools.

However, while addressing the delegates, Atiku said he was the right man to secure the country and assured that if elected as the party’s flagbearer, he will defeat the All Progressiv­es Congress, which he said had taken the nation decades backwards.

Atiku also promised to tackle the present impasse between the Academic Staff Union of Universiti­es (ASUU) and the federal government stressing that ASUU strike will be a thing of the past.
