Network drums support for Atiku as thousands of APC members decamp

The presidential aspiration of former vice president Atiku Abubakar recently received a boost as a group known as Waziri Frontiers Network (WFN) called on Nigerians to massively vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate next year.

The group which used the occasion which took place at the Atiku Presidential Campaign Office in Wuse 2 Abuja to receive thousands of All Progressives Party (APC) members into the PDP, also inaugurated its Executives committee.

At the occasion, a delegation of the Network was received by the Director of Contact and Mobilization Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCO) Dr. Nicholas Msheliza and his Deputy, Hon. Oladimeji Fabiyi.

In his remarks, Dr. Nicholas congratulated the newly inaugurated Executive committee members and urged them to take the mandate of delivering the PDP Presidential Candidate to the grassroots. He tasked them to focus on issue based campaigns when the right avenue is made open by constituted authority.

The Director General of WFN Engr. Dan Ohiomoba in his speech thanked the DG APCO for receiving them in a grand style and promised that members of his Network would embark on aggressive voter sensitization and mobilize immediately INEC declares campaigns open in a few days.

Engr. Ohiomoba noted that “APC made an expensive mistake for fielding a candidate who has no reason for re-election in the forthcoming general election,” saying also that “the candidacy of President Muhammadu Buhari is victory for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
