A support group for the Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, with membership of over 200,000 has transformed itself completely into a media campaign group for the Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari.
At a brief ceremony for the transformation today, Monday, chairman of the amalgamated group under the auspices of Atiku Care Foundation, Comrade Sanusi Ababai, said over seven affiliates of the Atiku Care Foundation supporters decided to dump Atiku for the re-election of President Buhari because of unfulfilled promises of Atiku.
The leader of Atiku’s loyalists who come from the North-West Zone of the country said: “for several years now, we have been working hard for the development of Atiku Care Foundation. A lot of promises were made when we started.
“They told us that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar needed a platform to reach out to the masses at the grassroots. We were committed because there were programmes from healthcare delivery, education, entrepreneurship, youth and women empowerment.”
Sanusi Ababai, who is former Director of Administration and Strategy in-charge of North-West for Atiku Care Foundation, said that the group has decided to pitch its tent with President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 re-election bid for his foresight and commitment to redeem Nigeria from the shackles of corruption and poverty.
