The presidential candidate of the Mass Action Joint Alliance party, Prof. Mercy Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, has asked PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to step down for her. According to Adesanya-Davies, she is a woman and younger and therefore, stands a better chance of winning the 2019 presidential election. The presidential candidate said since MAJA party and the PDP are members of the Coalition of United Political Parties CUPP, it is important that Atiku allows her be the presidential candidate all the parties would work towards her victory. Speaking when she received some students who paid her a courtesy call in Abuja yesterday, Adesanya-Davies said ''Since men have failed Nigeria, they should give women a chance to emerge as the nation’s next president and return the country back to the path of progress. I will, in fact, seize this opportunity to appeal to AlhajiAtiku Abubakar to kindly step down for me at the CUPP as President Buhari of APC steps aside, because this time indeed is a-woman-youth-academician ticket and a tip to the Middle-belt Christian Nigeria currently bearing all the brunt of killings in the North. And that is where I come in,” Adesanya-Davies said The post 'Step down for me because I am a woman and I am younger'' - Female presidential candidate, Funmi Adesanya-Davies tells Atiku appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
