Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State yesterday declared that the defection of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not in any way affect the party’s chances in the state.
In a statement issued by the Adamawa State PDP stakeholders and elders forum signed by Dr. Umar Ardo, the party said the duo of Atiku and the state governor, Murtala Nyako, who had also defected to the APC, lacked the political weight to displace the party at any given time in history.
The terse statement made available to journalists noted that “Given the dynamics of Adamawa state politics, today and in the foreseeable future, the convergence of Nyako and Atiku in the APC cannot upstage the strong support base of the PDP in the state.
“I can confidently say on behalf of the Adamawa State PDP stakeholders and elders forum that the PDP in Adamawa is not at all intimidated by the defection of the former Vice President to the APC. As far as we are concerned, in this state, PDP dey kampe!”
you need to be because Atiku is a political heavy weight not only in Adamawa state but in Nigeria and the whole of Africa, so his defection to the opposition should be a cause of worry for both the Adamawa PDP and National PDP.
Says who @ISYTA, he (Atiku) is a burden to PDP and the people of Adamawa as a whole. Let him defect and let the ruling party be.

Atiku’s Problems Continue (APC) in APC!
5 REASON WHY APC DOES NOT NEED ATIKU
It is rather unfortunate that APC has become
a dumping ground for Nigeria’sfailing
politicians. Since the merger, many politicians
who have one way the other lost their place in
the People’s Democratic Party have made All
Progressive Alliance their haven. Why blame
them when the leaders of APC do not know
that a progressive party is not a home for
wounded Lions.
Yes one could say APC needs all the power
brokers it can get but you also need to
consider the fact that it doesn’t need members
who are trouble-making champions.
Today, 2 nd of February, 2014, former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar, officially
announced on Twitter that he has decamped
to APC. On his website, he penned down his
grievances with PDP. He said he is angry with
the party for relegating him to the background
because he dared to contest at the primaries.
The Tinubu/Buhari led APC does not need
men like Atiku and here are my reasons:
UNTRUSTWORTHY:
Atiku has shown he is a man you can’t trust.
He has never been a party man. Atiku looks
out for that which butters his bread. Atiku left
PDP to Action Congress because his bread
can no longer be buttered in PDP, fought the
party that made him VP, called the party
unprintable names and didn’t have the shame
to go back to same party. It is madness to
trust such a man? That means you can’t trust
that he will keep your agreement with him
when the chips are down.
DISLOYALTY:
Atiku does not believe in loyalty! His actions
have proven that he camps where his interest
is protected. So joining the APC is not
because he wants to join hands to actualize
the party’s dream to give Nigerians a better
democratic experience but to pursue his
presidential dreams. Atiku has moved back
and forth from the PDP just because of his
presidential ambition. His ambition has so
obsessed him that he cannot be loyal to the
party’s decision if it doesn’t favour his dream
of ruling Nigeria.
SELFISHNESS:
The worst is that his pursuit is purely selfish!
So far he has not been able to articulate ideas
that can take us to the Nigeria of our dreams.
Just because your party no longer consults
you then you leave the party? That means it is
all about you not the collective dream of the
party for the country. Tomorrow if APC does
not consult you, you will decamp too. APC
does not need a selfish and over ambitious
person like Atiku, especially at this formative
stage.
PARTY PROSTITUTE:
A woman who easily sleeps with any kind of
man for money is nothing but a prostitute
likewise a politician who has decamped from
PDP to two other parties without considering
party philosophy and ethos. Atiku is political
party prostitute personified! He is the role
model for party prostitutes. That is his legacy!
TOO MUCH CAPTAINS IN ONE SHIP :
An army cannot win a war if there are many
Generals commanding it. The addition of other
aggrieved PDP Governors and Atiku into the
APC political clan is fast turning the party into
a group of rebels and if care is not taken, it
will be hard to have a single leader! This is a
party with political and tribal juggernauts like
General M. Buhari and Bola Tinubu who
grapevines still insist have presidential
ambitions. Throwing in an Atiku into the mix
is another way of spelling disaster! Time will
tell if Atiku can drop his ambition for Buhari
or any other northerner.
In summary, I think APC is already a moving
train that is fast gathering momentum and
should not allow confused people on board!
Am not surprise with his defection. I described Atiku as a prostitute whom is known for un seriousness. He master mind the crises in the great PDP but despite that its members are waxing stronger
