The Nigeria Youth Coalition (NYC), South-West chapter, has asked former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar until December to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday, November 16, 2017, by the group’s coordinator, Abiodun Emmanuel.
The statement said, “We want the former vice-president to return to the PDP as soon as possible so that he can participate in the December convention.
“He should be part of the PDP rebirth, this will avail him a better chance to compete during the party’s primary, ahead of the 2019
“We are ready to mobilise Nigerian youths in support of Atiku, come 2019 elections. Nigerian youths are confident that only the former vice-president is competent and experienced enough to lead Nigeria to economic prosperity.”
Atiku has not made his presidential ambition public but there are strong indications that the ex-VP may be running for the presidency in 2019, and his chances are better if he runs on the PDP platform.
