PDP presidential candidate – Atiku Abubakar has been instructed by his APC counterpart, Bola Tinubu to resign from the PDP and support him in the 2023 presidential election.
This was said by the former governor of Lagos State during a meeting with northern leaders on Monday that was organized under the auspices of the Arewa Joint Committee.
Mr. Tinubu requested that his PDP counterpart return the favor of 2007, when he abandoned his presidential ambitions to support Atiku.
The PDP presidential candidate was criticized by the APC candidate for using the ethnicity card in the run-up to the 2023 presidential election.
Recall how the PDP presidential candidate sparked a debate by requesting the Arewa Joint Committee’s backing despite being from the north?
In a subtly disparaging statement about Mr. Tinubu and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, he claimed that the North did not require a Yoruba or Igbo candidate.
