Atiku Is Done With The Business of Decamping

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has promised to remain with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), even if he loses his bid to secure the party’s ticket for the 2019 presidential poll.

Abubakar said this on Friday while visiting the party’s national secretariat in Abuja to notify the PDP’s national working committee (NWC) of his presidential aspiration.

Abubakar also praised the party for the conduct of a “free and fair” primary election which produced its candidate for the July 14 governorship poll in Ekiti.

He added that free and transparent primary would boost the party’s chances in the presidential election as well as restore its lost glory as he pledged to work in the interest of the party.

He said, “Whether I become the presidential candidate or not, I want to assure you that I will always discharge my obligations to this party,” he said.

“If we can sustain the kind of primary that we had in Ekiti, there is no doubt that this party will be on its way to regaining the pre-eminence in power that we were known for.”
