Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar on Thursday reiterated that he would not defect from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) anymore, even if he failed to secure the party’s
presidential ticket.
Atiku stated this in Minna while
addressing party supporters at the PDP headquarters.
He stated that he would support
whoever becomes flag bearer of the PDP for the 2019 presidential election if he
is not elected.
The former Vice President,
however, expressed optimism of winning the presidential ticket of the party if
a level-playing ground was provided.
Abubakar called on the leadership
of the party to demonstrate high sense of political maturity in conducting
free, fair and transparent presidential primaries.
He said that such political
commitment would boost the party’s chances in the presidential election.
“I am ever ready to work towards
the success of the party if level-playing ground is provided during the party
primaries .
“Whether I become the
presidential candidate or not, I want to assure you that I will always
discharge my obligations to ensure the success of the polls.
“I and all the presidential
aspirants met with the National Working Committee of the party on Wednesday
where we signed an affirmation to support whoever emerged as the party’s flag
bearer.
“I am ready to align with the
decision.”
On why he visited Niger state,
Atiku added “I was I n Niger to solicit the support of party members,
especially delegates to the forthcoming convention to actualise my aspiration.”
