Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) vice presidential candidate, has promised not to let any drama deter him from his mission to save Nigeria.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the PDP presidential candidate was responding to a press statement made by a member of the NEC named Chinemerem Madu, who claimed that the party officials, including some NEC members, who are responsible for the PDP issue, have received money to keep stoking dissension.
According to Madu, the ultimate goal of those responsible for the turmoil is to thwart Atiku Abubakar’s ambition, while calls for the resignation of PDP national chairman Iyorchia Ayu are merely a diversion.

According to Madu, the unnamed national vice chairman admitted to accepting large sums of money to thwart Atiku’s campaign and disrupt the party’s presidential campaigns.
Further, he claimed that the group’s intentions included arranging press conferences where negative remarks against Atiku would be made soon after the official start of the campaigning for the 2023 presidential election.
In response to Madu’s news release, Daniel Bwala, the presidential spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, stated that the PDP has moved on and is now concentrating on the 2023 election.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a press statement by Chief Chinemerem Madu, a NEC member of our dear party of an alleged plan by some persons both within and outside the party to conduct press conference or issue a press release, calling for the removal or resignation of the National Chairman of our great party. Whatever the plans are, they are intended, in the statement of Chief Chinemerem, to create a distraction from the collective efforts by the party and its members to execute a rescue Nigeria project.

“Our campaign council members were inaugurated today (Wednesday) during the launching of books about our flag bearer, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar. For all intent and purposes, we are set to commence our campaigns from today (Wednesday), hence the alleged plan to destabilize the efforts.
“The kickoff drew large support and participation of our members as well as willing Nigerians with renewed resolve to work towards delivering on our mandate. Make no mistake, as a party we have moved on to what is ahead of us and refused to be distracted by any unnecessary distraction or drama.
“We call on our members to be aware of what lies ahead of us, the energy and enthusiasm it requires to execute with passion and precision the project that lies ahead. The promise of our ticket to the Nigerian people is quite clear and is designed to lead this country out of the doldrums.
“Our members at all levels are called upon to embark on community mobilisation and engage various groups as we look to win the undecided voters. The stakes are high; there is no sitting on the fence. As Nigerians go to the polls they would decide on their choices along the lines of superior promise on security, education, infrastructure, unity, economy etc. Pundits, experts are of the opinion that our candidate presents the best alternative for Nigeria. Our economic blueprint is adjudged as the best by experts and professionals. We are committed to this onerous task.”
