Atiku Meets With N'east Bigwigs In PDP

 Following Atiku's defection to PDP,  the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar arrived Yola, Adamawa State, during the weekend where he was engaged in a series of meetings with officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at all levels who kept trooping to his house to welcome him back to the party that formed the bedrock of Nigerian politics.

Atiku met with Adamawa PDP executives as well as the state chairmen from the six states that constitute the North-east, including the National Vice-Chairman, North-east of PDP.

He is expected to declare his membership of the PDP on or before December 6 ahead of the party’s national convention slated for December 9 where new national executives of the party will be elected.
He is also expected to throw his hat into the ring to secure the presidential ticket of the party for the 2019 elections, making it his fifth attempt to rule the country.

Commenting on the meeting between Atiku and the state executives of PDP, the Adamawa State secretary of the party, Alhaji Abdulllahi Prambe, said the meeting was fruitful.
“Our meeting with him has been fruitful and from his body language he will soon return to PDP.”

Prambe said it would be a big boost to the party at the state and national levels when Atiku finally returns fully.
“With Atiku, the party will carry more weight and more people will also troop in, said Prambe.

Sources say the former vice-president is mounting pressure on two governors to defect to PDP with Him. Their response is yet unknown but the governors are close friends of Atiku who can hardly say NO to Him.
