Convention: Atiku’s defection alters scheming in PDP

Last Sunday’s formal defection of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has ruffled feathers ahead of the party elective convention slated for Saturday, Daily Trust reports.

Credible sources told Daily Trust that some of PDP’s handlers are very happy that the Wazirin Adamawa has defected to their fold from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

They hinged their joy on Atiku’s propensity to deploy his enormous resources, rich media outfit and elaborate political outreach through the formidable structure he built over the years, a development they said “would undoubtedly embolden the PDP ahead of 2019.”
