The Chairman of the National Movement, Alhaji Abubakar El-Nafaty, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Sunday in Abuja.
El-Nafaty said the former Vice President remains the best choice for Nigeria, adding, “he has the ability to bring people together, assemble the right team from across the country and give everyone a sense of ownership.”
The chairman said he has a group, in collaboration with other organizations mobilizing the electorate across Nigeria to vote for Atiku.
He said: “We will inaugurate our chapters in all the states of the federation and we will visit Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi and Gombe states this week.
“We will join the party structure in all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
“This will allow us to deepen our involvement with the grassroots. We already have a structure on the ground, so we will connect with that structure and continue to operate.

El-Nafaty also said that the group will produce short video clips in English, Hausa, Fulfude, Kanuri, Yoruba and other languages and upload them to YouToube.
He said: “This is to educate the electorate on why Atiku is the ‘best presidential candidate for Nigeria.
” Before the end of this month, the script and video will be ready.
“Also, we will hold a seminar or hold an evening- with Atiku where we can sit together, discuss the country and questions will be put to him to improve the chances of winning the election.”
El-Nafaty said the organization decided to endorse Atiku after critical examination and evaluation of all three front-line presidential candidates.
He said: “Based on the evaluation of the group, Atiku is the only presidential candidate who has the courage, quality, capacity and ability to move the country to the desired level.
” Atiku has a title that can be accepted all over the country. He is a first class patriot and nationalist who believes in Nigeria’s indivisibility and unity,” he said.
