Over 145 Aggrieved Atiku Support Groups has denounced its support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and pledged allegiance to President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the 2019 general elections in the country.
The group assured that it will mobilize over 5.5million votes for president Buhari to ensure continuity of his government.
The group under the auspices of the Aggrieved Atiku Support Groups made this known at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
Chairman of the group, Bello Osaretin explained that their decision to quit Atiku Abubakar’s Presidential project is informned and inspired by the outcome of wide consultations and engagements embark upon over the past few months as it were clearly observable that the Nigerian people are not interested in restarting Nigeria, knowing fully well that Nigeria is working and are ready to move enmass to the NEXT LEVEL of economic prosperty, socio-cultural reintegration and political stability.
“We are proud to state that Nigerians are at home with the current achievements
of President Mohammadu Buhari and cannot afford to return to the old days of political darkness and jabberwocky, where looters of our comn patrimony were been celebrated and given front seats in social functions,. instead of languishing in jail, similarly, the Nigerian people can’t afford political nomads and people delinquent in leadership panache and content to govern Nigeria
again. Nigeria is already moving forward and in save hands with President Mohammadu Buhari in the driver’s seat”, he added.
The group explained further that its decision to quit the Atiku Abubakar’s project was occasioned by the total
neglect and disregards for the sanctity of support groups existence, acknowledgment and recognition of groups contributions coupled with nepotic
deployment to favour some selected support groups with ethnic affinity,
administrative recklessness in management of support groups goodwil,
rebarbative use of derogatory lingos such as mere volunteers and nuisance to
ascribed support groups that were instrumental for Atiku Abubakar to defeat
eleven co-contestants in PDP Presidential Convention and the use of coercive
force, such as thugs and political touts to unleash mayhem on support groups
that we are disgruntled to the injustice prevalent in APCO.
The Osaretin led group said after the emergence of the Atiku Abubakar as Presidential Candidate in Port-Harcourt, the victory party was relocated to Dubai, where emporia em emporium was hatched and cabals that never labour were the first to sit at Tea Party, meanwhile the support groups that labored though thick and thin were neglected, abandoned used and dumped, confiming the Usual parlance
of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop” which has been the usual style of PDP as a Political Party.
It added that it is a common knowledge to state thus, though not trying to make common sense but rational thinking that it is not all hat are comon that makes sense
therefore, support groups who were neglected and treated with disdain has the right and privilege to migrate to places where they will be treated with royalty.
The group therefore states that: “Today, we the members of the Aggrieved Atiku Support Groups Coalition with over 145 political mobilization elements nationwide has collectively denounced and withdrew our total support for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as we transition and coalesce our political identity to Asiwaju Reloaded PMB Ambassadors of Nigeria.”
