Hopes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar benefitting from the ongoing crisis in PDP appears to have hit the rocks, following a disagreement between him and the leader of APC, Senator Bola Tinubu. Atiku was said to have visited the former Lagos State governor when he was recuperating abroad recently to renew the alliance they had in 2007, which saw the then vice president contest the presidential election on the ticket of the Action Congress (AC).
Sources in the political circles confirmed to the Nigerian Tribune that Atiku visited Tinubu and pleaded with him to support his 2015 presidential ambition on the platform of APC.
It was gathered that Atiku was hopeful
he would be able to convince the aggrieved governors of PDP under the aegis of
G7 to defect en masse to the APC.
When contacted, the head of Atiku
media office, Garba Shehu, said “to the best of my knowledge, there has not
been any such visit. “If this speculation is linked to his impending meeting
with APC train, I would like to say that the outcome of a meeting can only be
known after the interaction has occurred. “Let them wait for the meeting to
take place before they can discuss its outcome.”
