Atiku Abubakar Dumps APC, Returns To PDP To Get Presidential Ticket. by kingjizzy2(m): 7:39am On Nov 23, 2017
Ex-vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will tomorrow register at his Jada 1 ward in Adamawa State, to begin his formal return to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This is expected to be followed with a formal defection on December 6, ahead of the party’s December 9 national convention, where he is also expected to be physically present.

We also gathered exclusively that all formal arrangements had long been made to make his return to his former party seamless.

Part of the arrangements, it was learnt, was to hand the party machinery in the state over to his loyalists.

“And from the outcome of the congress we held about two weeks ago or so to elect state party officials, his men emerged the new party leaders in the state. If you recall, Dr. Ardo, a very strong member of the party in the state, protested what he termed ‘connivance’ of the national secretariat with Atiku to make his (Atiku) men take over the party in the state. He made a lot of noise in the media over the issue. But did you hear anything?” one of sources in Adamawa queried.

Atiku’s return to the PDP is a confirmation of Daily Sun’s report of November 14, where it reported among others things that plans were on by the PDP to woo top All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains to its fold, as part of its strategies to sack the APC from the cenre in 2019.

Although Daily Sun could not readily ascertain if Atiku got any assurance from the party that he was going to get the party’s presidential ticket, handing him the party structure in the state was Atiku’s own way of ensuring that the events of January 2011 and December 2014 respectively, does not repeat itself, another source volunteered.

Daily Sun recalls that in 2011, Atiku as a northern consensus candidate was not only defeated by Goodluck Jonathan in the PDP presidential primary election, he also lost all the delegates from Adamawa State to Jonathan.

Also in 2014, Atiku again lost Adamawa State delegates to President Muhammadu Buhari in the APC presidential primary, coming a distant third after Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, then Kano State governor.

Daily Sun further gathered that with Atiku’s formal return to the PDP, the dynamics within the ruling APC is also expected to change, as most of his loyalists currently in government and in the party are expected to join him in PDP in the days ahead.

Already, current Women Affairs Minister, Senator Aisha Alhasssan had long given Buhari notice that she would be backing Atiku in 2019. She is one of those expected to return to the PDP.

Also, Adamawa State governor, Senator Jibrilla Bindow, whose influence within the APC in the state has been effectively neutralised by both the Murtala Nyako and Buhari groups is expected to join Atiku too in the PDP in the months ahead.

But, a Deputy Director in the Atiku Media Office, Mr. Sola Sanni has dismissed the former vice president’s return to the PDP.

He told Daily Sun the story is just “the imagination of those concocting the story. This is not the first time we will hear of such stories. It’s simply not correct.”

Regardless, Adamawa PDP members are already agog in anticipation of Atiku’ s return to the party.

Although none of the party officials were unwilling to be quoted when contacted yesterday, the state PDP chairman, Ahmed Tahir Shehu told Daily Sun that they would be happy to see the former vice president return to the PDP.

“We have been mounting pressures on him (Atiku); we have sent delegations to him on a number of times, pleading with him to return.

So, we will be happy to have him back,” Shehu said.

Atiku for Nigeria president, we want Biafra. What da hell are you saying? How can you want Biafra and same time want Atiku as president of Nigeria? Anyways, let me be candid with you. There is no way Atiku can defeat Buhari in the south west. Take it or leave it. I know very soon you will say Yoruba people betrayed you.
Atiku will only will south east and some part of south south.
Iboe man, your wailing is just starting. You must wail till 2023; which is for another 6 years

You should be worried about the impeding implosion in PDP.
From the choice of Atiku above loyal PDP gladiators to the fight that will most likely ensue in the SE over the choice of a VP candidate.
It’s not really looking nice for PDP as a party

that is a fat lie,resources were evenly distributed then nigerians can bare me witness ,i dont need to start uploading videos here for you to see because i know that you are a biased soul.
buhari is fighting an imaginary corruption at the detriment of poor nigerians,saying that am lazy and should go and work is an insult to a hardworking nigerian.
the exchange rate is high,commodities are high,the naira can only buy few items like we witnessed in the jonathan era,every evil you wish for the hardworking nigerian will return to you in hundred folds you wicked people supporting this evil goverment that we voted for.they have started wasting blood again with boko haram even the norther youths are complaining.
darkness is what this government brought to us
