A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), Haroun O. Ajah,
has said former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has the potentials to
become Nigeria’s next president, Daily Post reports.
In a statement yesterday, Ajah also warned PDM against any form of merger.
“All political parties are however welcome to join and fly the flag of our great party, the PDM,” Ajah said.
He commended the stand of Atiku on the restructuring of Nigeria,
which he backed as the only way to a better administrative system for
Nigeria.
“National peace and stability require national dialogue for consensus
building, the restructuring of Nigeria as the commitment to achieve
true federalism which can only be carried out by a courageous and
patriotic person like Alhaji Atiku Ababakar as President of Nigeria.
“I implore the national caretaker committee of PDM and the ‘Baba PDM,
Ibrahim Gusau in particular to work very hard and ensure that people
with respect, courage, commitment and integrity emerge as Leaders of
Peoples’ Democratic Movement (PDM) Party in the forthcoming Congresses
and National Convention.
“I solicit PDM to never merge with other political parties where it
will lose its identity; name, party logo and the clarion call from
darkness to light. PDM is a great party and a big party that will
certainly clear the next general elections.
“That is why we are solidly and completely behind the candidacy of
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Turakin Adamawa for the Presidency of Nigeria in
2019 on any Political Party he wishes to contest.
“However, we invite him to use the platform of PDM for his
presidential project but if he refuses to choose PDM as his choice Party
to contest in 2019 PDM is still ready to adopt him as sole candidate”,
he stated.
