I’ll campaign for Nyako in
Adamawa guber poll - Atiku
Following
persistent media enquiries, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
has confirmed that he would enthusiastically work for the
re-election campaign bid of Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa
State in the forthcoming gubernatorial election, slated for
January next year.
In a statement released by his media office
in Abuja, the former Vice President noted that he and Nyako are
working closely to ensure the success of the PDP in the coming
election.
The statement, which comes amid media
speculation about the direction Atiku is taking in Adamawa and
national politics, re-affirmed his commitment to the success of
the PDP at all levels.
According to the former Vice President, the
future of the PDP is greater than the perceived rivalries or
acrimonies among politicians. “Our common interest to transform
the PDP and re-mould it according to the ideals and objective
for which it was formed in 1998 transcends personals interests,”
Atiku added.
Until now, the former Vice President has
not uttered any word personally about Adamawa politics. His
newfound alliance with Governor Nyako is believed to be a major
boost for the Adamawa State PDP chapter, which has been torn
apart by divided loyalties to different actors.
