Ebun Francis || The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, on Friday described former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar as a serial defector and said it was good that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar left the All Progressives Congress early.
The Kaduna State governor said the party was already aware that Atiku would leave in December.
El-rufai who spoke to state house correspondents after Friday’s juma’at prayers at the Presidential Villa said if, given the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, the former Vice-President is not a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.
Vice President Atiku Abubakar early on Friday in a statement announced his decision to quit the ruling All Progressive Congress Party, describing it as a dying party that has failed Nigerians.
The Turaki Adamawa as he is fondly addressed by his supporters is widely expected to run for the 2019 Presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
