The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has clarified reports making the rounds of its exclusion of former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar from the presidential race.
The National Publiccity Secretary
of the Party, Kola Ologbobiyan said Atiku was still part of candidates being
considered for the party’s presidential ticket.
Ologboniyan disclosed this on
Twitter while responding to a tweet.
According to him, no one will be
stopped from contesting for the presidential ticket.
He wrote: “Atiku excluded from
the Presidential race -this is a misleading story/tweet.
“Everyone and anyone in our great
party is free to contest any position he/she deems fit.”
Meanwhile, Atiku will battle some
bigwigs in the PDP: Governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal, former governor
of Kano, Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau;
former governors of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido and Ibrahim Turaki; and a former
Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa to get the 2019 presidential
ticket.
