Former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Thursday said he would not defect from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) anymore, even if he failed to secure the party’s
presidential ticket.
Mr Abubakar stated this in Minna
while addressing party supporters at the PDP headquarters.
He, however, expressed optimism of
winning the presidential ticket of the party if a level-playing ground was
provided.
Mr Abubakar called on the
leadership of the party to demonstrate high sense of political maturity in
conducting a 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 a 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,” he said.
He explained that all the
presidential aspirants met with the National Working Committee of the party on
Wednesday where they later signed an affirmation to support whoever emerged as
the party’s flag bearer.
He said he was ready to align with
the decision.
He said he was in Niger to solicit
the support of party members, especially delegates to the forthcoming
convention to actualise his aspiration. (NAN)
