A former Vice President and chieftain of the All
progressives Congress, APC, Atiku Abubakar, has denied knowledge of the
groups of politicians who announced their defection to the PDP from the
APC.
Atiku said in a statement by his media office in Abuja that he
remains a committed member of the APC and urged that the purported
defections of these groups be discountenanced.
A total of 120 so-called pro-Atiku support groups on Tuesday defected from the APC to the PDP.
They dumped the APC for the ruling PDP at an elaborate ceremony held at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
However, in a reaction, Turaki Vanguard, the umbrella group of Mr.
Atiku’s supporters said members of the 120 groups were not supporters of
the former vice president.
The National Publicity Secretary of Turaki Vanguard, Soji Bamidele,
told PREMIUM TIMES that the defectors were not Mr. Atiku’s loyalists as
they claimed.
