Politics 2019 Elections: PDP Pushes For Atiku As Presidential Candidate

[ProfRem]

It seems the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is gunning for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for the 2017 Presidential election in the country.

Atiku, the APC chieftain, recently, said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) lacked internal democracy, which is one of the key tenets of democratic governance.

According to Atiku, APC is more a bullying party now than a democratic party, where the voices of the people count.

He made references to the issues of lack of statutory meetings in the party and the recent congresses of the party.



Also sources at the main opposition party told Sahara Reporters that the party is quietly settling for Atiku as its Presidential candidate and governor Ayodele Fayose as the Vice, statement which the Ekiti govenor switfly denied.

Atiku Abubakar is yet to make statement on it.

Yesterday, the former new media aide to former President, Goodluck Jonathan also called the opposition party to build the party and beg Atiku to return to party which he helped to build.

Atiku na political ashawo running from one party to another. His gluttony nature made him sale his party to merger. Now ACN no dey again yet he can't settle in APC, nawa for him ooo! He is also desperate about ascending the throne and his tentacles are sweeping the airways for parties that can give him that chance. I don't know why he will not go and rest. We have had enough of old people becoming presidents whose health status are doubtful and are liable to go for medical vacations after handover.

Truth is he will shock everyone and win. The north has Nigeria in it's grips and it will take a miracle for someone like him not to triumph over APC and its failed promises. Just see another case of gerrymandering by APC
