Nigeria's former Vice president, Atiku Abubakar may be returning to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Eighteen days to the presidential election some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have put former Vice President Atiku Abubakar under intense pressure to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) and back the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Also, Atiku’s supporters, who feel shortchanged in APC are urging him to throw his weight behind the President, since he did not realise his ambition of being the standard bearer of the opposition party.
Daily Sun gathered that those making overtures to Atiku believe that having lost the APC ticket, owning to the support governors and National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu gave to General Muhammadu Buhari, the former vice president should be aggrieved.
Those working to get Atiku to support Jonathan believed that since he has not been participating actively in the campaigns of the APC, he may be nursing a grudge against leaders of the party and therefore, could accept to return to PDP. Details of the offer to the former vice president were not revealed, but sources say that it may not be far from the 2019 presidential ticket of the PDP.
