As part of its membership drive, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress has concluded plan to woo former Vice President Atiku Abubakar into its fold.

Atiku, a member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, was the presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, a party that was among the three political parties that merged to form the APC.

The other two political parties were the Congress for Progressive Change and the All Nigeria Peoples Party.

The former Vice- President however returned to the PDP shortly before the presidential primaries of the PDP in 2010, which he lost to President Gododluck Jonathan.

Atiku was also a member of the aggrieved members of the PDP that walked out of the PDP mini convention in Abuja few months ago to form the New PDP.

Investigations by our correspondent showed that Atiku would receive the leaders of the APC at his residence in Asokoro, Abuja.

The spokesperson for the former Vice-President, Mallam Garba Shehu, confirmed the visit in a test message to our correspondent.

He said, “Yes, the leadership of the APC would visit Turaki at his residence in Asokoro tomorrow (today) at 11am.”

If the leadership of the opposition party succeeds in wooing Atiku from the ruling party, he would be joining five other governors from the PDP to have defected to the opposition party.

Governors who have left the party are Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwanso (Kano); Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa).

Wellcome....

Removing a stick of broom from its bunch does nothing to d broom. PDP 4 lyf

Political gay prostitute

Rexceedo: Removing a stick of broom from its bunch does nothing to d broom. PDP 4 lyf

^^^^ PDP get broom. Go APC jare !!!! Even you in your desperate attempt know the strength of the team. Next time please use the Umbrella abi umbellela !!!!

@News, i no like Atiku one single bit. I prefer he remains in PDP. APC has to be cautious of desperate people who cross carpet as they could hijack APC or destroy it if they fail to get what they want. So watch who you admit into the fold. Some people are not worth it. After all Atiku is expendable.

This could make me hate APC...

ok...

Atiku having been in power knows fully well that the APC cannot unseat an incumbent PDP. Atiku knows the turf very well and knows where his interest will be best served. The question however is whether the PDM is still as strong and formidable as it used to be to bother anybody. I doubt.

Are you freaking kidding me? The coming years will be interesting in the Nigerian political sphere.

Nigeria is stuck between the
devil and the deep blue sea.
GEJ is a novice in corruption
when you are talking of
Atiku, Tinubu, Ali Modu
Sherrif, Saraki. They are all
waiting by the wings to grab
our oil wealth once GEJ falls.
If we can’t fight a docile
president like GEJ would we
be able to fight Atiku or
Buhari? APC intentions is not
good for Nigeria, power
intoxicates, how can we give
power to these desparadoes.
