The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has rubbished speculations that he was planning to dump the party for ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Atiku, speaking with PDP women members of the Board of Trustees, BoT, who visited him to help save the party from total collapse, insisted on a coalition to push out the APC-led government in 2027.
He said that the coalition movement was not just a political strategy, but a necessity to challenge the ruling party and rebuild the country.
Atiku told the women, led by the former Minister of Women Affairs and ex- National Women Leader of the party, Hajia Inna Ciroma, that a coalition is workable, and would assure good results.
According to him, the National Party of Nigeria, NPN, the ruling party in the Second Republic, had formed an alliance with the Nigeria Peoples Party, NPP, and it was called NPN-NPP accord.
He added that when the coalition is achieved, the name of PDP will not be affected.
Atiku Abubakar was said to have told the PDP women about the status of the pan-Nigerian coalition that he was building in conjunction with other leaders and stakeholders across political divides and regions.
He informed them that the movement was being powered by Nigerians desirous of reclaiming and rebuilding their country from across the nooks and crannies of our country.
