Alhaji atiku abubakar running for 2019 el rufai news

I think there may be some confusion here.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a Nigerian politician who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 Nigerian presidential election. He did not run for office with El-Rufai, who is the Governor of Kaduna State.

In fact, El-Rufai was a strong supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari, in the 2019 presidential election. Atiku Abubakar, on the other hand, was the candidate of the opposition PDP.
