The presidential bid of Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Saturday, received a boost as five out of the 18 political parties in Nigeria adopted him.
The decision of the five parties to endorse Atiku Abubakar was announced at the grand finale of the PDP’s presidential rally geld at the Mahmud Ribadu Square, in Yola, the Adamawa State capital on Saturday.
This endorsement comes barely a week before the 2023 general election.
The parties are the Allied Peoples Movement, African Democratic Congress, National Rescue Movement, Action Alliance, and Action Peoples Party.
The National Chairman of the APM, Yusuf Dantalle, who spoke on behalf of the parties, made the declaration.
The APM’s National Chairman had on Friday adopted Atiku’s candidacy in place of the only female presidential candidate of the APM, in the 2023 presidential race, Chichi Ojei.
