The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said the 2023 general election is a choice between those who are prepared to lead change from Day One and persons bent on the continuation of the current disaster caused by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP presidential candidate stated this in Abuja, as he engaged in a last-minute push to reconcile aggrieved members of the party. He met with members of the partys Board of Trustees (BoT), and was scheduled to meet stakeholders from the North-East this week.
However, according to reports, five rebellious governors of the party, led by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, met in Enugu to strategise and ponder the options open to them.
Meanwhile, a PDP pressure group, the Coalition for Good Governance (CGG), has demanded for the immediate sack of five members of the National Working Committee, (NWC), who recently accused the party of bribery, for anti-party activities.
The vice presidential candidate of the party and Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, had on Saturday met with the BoT members, where he assured party members that the crisis in PDP would soon be resolved.
It was learnt that Atiku would on October 5 meet the North-East stakeholders of the party as part of efforts to restore unity to PDP before the election. This followed his meeting last week with stakeholders in Enugu.
