DISARRAY: ATIKU SUFFERS ANOTHER POLITICAL SETBACK
In a matter of hours, the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar after losing powerful political allies from his campaign council, his foundational movement, PDM has collapsed its structure for Bola Tinubu.
It was gathered that no less than three groups, including the defunct Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) members, have declared their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Aside from the PDM, others are Muslim/Christian Youths, and Elders’ Forum and Genuine Governance Group (GGG) endorsed Tinubu ahead of the 2023 general election.
The late major general, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (retd), founded the PDM in 1994 and became a registered political party in August 2003.
It became a political movement of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In 2020, the movement was deregistered as a political party, among others, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
While speaking to journalists on Tuesday, September 20, the group’s national leader, Frank Igwebuike and its national secretary, Maimunat Ahmadu, said the defunct PDM still have offices in the 36 states and the FCT.
Igwebuike revealed that the movement had carried out a highly sophisticated study work on the Nigerian political milieu, but the man whom the cap fits is Bola Tinubu.
He said: “In times like these, only great men can be called to help in bringing forth good governance and protection of our collective patrimony.”
