PDM has adopted Atiku as presidential candidate
This is coming three weeks after another group headed by Senator Abubakar Mahdi adopted President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mahdi led a delegation comprising chairmen and leaders of PDM from the 36 states of the federation and Abuja who conscientiously had resolved on the Jan.1 to support Buhari’s candidature in the forthcoming presidential election.
But in a twist, another group said to be chaired by Chief Dapo Sarumi, a former minister and a Lagos based politician said that the group was backing Atiku.
The endorsement communique was released by the Sarumi group at an event which held at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
The communiqué was signed by Sarumi, who was a former Minister of Information, and six others, Dubem Onyia (South East), Chief Bode Ajewole (South West), Chief Ejiofor Onyia (South-South), Dr Bala Tafida (North Central), Alhaji Kabir Bawa (North East) and Fatima Abba (North West).
PDM, which started as Peoples Front, was founded by late former Chief of General Staff (Supreme Headquarters), Gen. Shehu Yar’Adua.
