No crack in PANDEF, we stand by Atiku – Nat’l Chair, Youth Leader

NATIONAL Chairman of Pan-Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, the umbrella body of traditional rulers, leaders and stakeholders of the coastal states of Niger Delta, Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga (retd), yesterday, said there was no split in the body over the adoption of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Deputy National Youth Leader, PANDEF, Olorogun Vincent Oyibode, who corroborated Nkanga’s stance, said: “We are persuaded by Atiku Abubakar’s position on restructuring and we are standing by him.”

Nkanga, a former Military Administrator of Akwa Ibom State, who spoke on phone to Vanguard, said: “I want you to know that in every home, you do have some bad eggs and all that. But the stand of PANDEF was not taken today. We have been on this for quite a while.
