Governor Jibrilla Bindow has said he has no immediate plans follow Atiku Abubakar out of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“The governor was elected under the banner of APC and will continue to remain as APC governor,” Adamawa State Commissioner for Information, Ahmed Sajoh, told NNN Saturday.
Mr. Sajoh said the APC national leadership, which has reportedly been unsettled by Mr. Atiku’s exit Friday morning, should exercise no fear or apprehension.
He said APC had failed to deliver on its promises to Nigerians who have long been desperate for improved economic interventions.
Mr. Atiku, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, joined the APC in early 2014, barely a few months after the party was established to challenge the then-ruling APC.
The APC has welcomed the development in a backhanded reaction to NNN Friday afternoon, admitting on the one hand that Mr. Atiku’s exit was a big loss while recognising the politician’s rights to pursue his personal ambition on the other.
Mr. Atiku did not immediately say which party he’ll move to next, but suggestions are rife that he’d concluded plans to join the PDP, which has been openly courting him in recent months.
The spinning rumour mill also has it that Mr. Atiku’s departure would trigger a wave of defections from the APC to PDP across the country.
