Abuja – After a brief foray in the All Progressives Congress (APC), 140 support groups, which had earlier withdrawn their support from the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, have returned to the party.

About 145 PDP Support
groups had earlier abandoned their support for Atiku for the APC on
allegations of marginalisation, ingratitude and lack of support.

Addressing
newsmen on Monday at a World Press Conference in Abuja, the Coalition
of Atikuate Leaders Forum, announced their return to the party and their
collective resolve to end their support for the APC and its
Presidential Candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

The groups
explained that reassurances from the Director General of Atiku Support
Group, Math Yeduma, made them to return and work for the successful
election of Atiku Abubakar.

The Group’s National Coordinator,
Pastor Franklin Eze, who spoke on their behalf, further explained that
they have resolved to put their grievances behind.

He said: “We
have come to state categorically that of the alleged 145 support groups,
not less than 140 groups, as you can see, are still with His Excellency
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar except for ‘Atiku reloaded’ support group, led by
El-Mikedo and a few others like him who have decided to reduce the
nobility associated with politics and politicking into a bread and
butter business.

“Therefore, let nobody use the names of our
various groups to go about collecting money from APC as that amounts to
impersonation, outright falsehood and political prostitution
orchestrated on the altar of the spirit of Balaamism. That is the spirit
of avarice and kleptomenia.”

The group national coordinator
added that the ruling party and its government has no respect for
democratic institutions and uses official institutions to its advantage.

Eze
said: “We cannot associate our groups to a government that have
absolute and outright disregard for the rules of law that allows for a
just and fair society, a government that has annexed the Nigerian Police
Force (NPF) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as
an extension of her party.

“The All Progressive Congress (AFC);
as evidenced by the brazen show of the appointment of Hajiya Amina
Zakari as the INEC National Commissioner in charge of the election
collation panel and the refusal to retire the IGP Ibrahim ldris, who
have served out his constitutional tenure in office. All this scheming
we perceive is in attempt to perpetrate their rigging agenda.

“Consequent
upon the foregoing, we make it clear to the world that the about 140
Coalition of Atikulate Leaders Forum formally known as Coalition of All
Aggrieved Atiku Support Groups (AASG) are still with His Excellency
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri of Adamawa and His Excellency Peter
Obi.

“We are still with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and we shall keep Atikulating until we get Nigeria working again. This is to say that we have decided to vote Atiku and Obi for the 2019 presidential elections, and there is no turning back to our collective resolution.”
