Third Force Movement Finally Endorses Atiku

The leadership of the Third Force Movement under the umbrella of Nigeria Intervention Movement has endorsed Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party for the presidential election.

The decision was contained in a statement by the movement’s Director of Media and Publicity, Mr Debo Adeniyi, on Friday.

Adeniyi
said the decision of the third force stakeholders was without prejudice
to the recently-concluded opinion polls by Alliance for Defence of
Democracy to pick a consensus candidate to contest against the All
Progressives Congress and the PDP.

He said Atiku was chosen based on his promise to restructure Nigeria.

“Our
support for Atiku Abubakar, an ardent apostle of restructuring of the
Nigerian state, gives our movement a better and more feasible prospects
of taking charge of a new Nigeria in the shortest possible time,” he
said.

He added that the movement, under the leadership of Dr
Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), and Dr Abduljalil Tafawa Balewa, had mandated the
Director-General of NIM to “immediately mobilise all officials, members,
stakeholders and allies of the Third Force Movement under the umbrella
of NIM to vote and work for Atiku Abubakar enmasse as a major political
bloc in the country with over seven million membership.
