Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has stated that he is uniting the aggrieved members of the party.
Atiku stated this at the weekend when he visited Gombe State to commission his campaign office donated by a PDP chieftain and former governorship aspirant in the state Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna.
“I am still talking to the aggrieved members of the party and I think at the end of the day, we are going to get united,” he said.
On the chances of the party winning the next election, Atiku said, “PDP is a very popular party, the oldest party that might have made mistakes in the past, but we have realised our mistakes, we are ready to correct those mistakes to make Nigeria prosperous. They have seen our performance and they can compare our performance with the performance of our party opponents.”
It was gathered that this was one of the first political activities carried out by the former vice president since the commencement of the 2023 electioneering campaigns on September 28.
Meanwhile, the immediate past governor of the state Ibrahim Dankwambo was absent at the commissioning of Atiku’s campaign office.
However, a party stalwart in the state, Dr Ahmed Gana, in an interview with newsmen said as far as they are concerned, Dankwambo is part of the PDP.
“Although he is not here physically, we assume we are going to have him any moment from now. He has no option than to come and join the people.
“Don’t forget that he is also campaigning for the seat of the Gombe North senatorial district and he needs the PDP family for him to win,” he said.
