The former vice president also said he would provide adequate funding for education, saying “education is key to everything.”

“We can only achieve this if you, as delegates, support me and I win the nomination, and I go ahead to win the election. Atiku Abubakar is a household name in Ondo state, that is why you gave me over 35,000 vote margin in the last election. You deserve the best in this country,” he further stated.
