Walid Jibrin, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Board of Trustees, claims that the All Progressives Congress sabotaged its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in 2019.
Jibrin said in a statement on Monday that sabotage opened the way for Muhammadu Buhari of the Progressives Congress (APC) to emerge as the ‘winner.’
The former Vice President’s triumph at the PDP convention, according to Jibrin, has given Nigerians the opportunity to build a government that works for everyone.
“We must remember that Atiku was in 2019 elected at the PDP presidential primary in Port-Harcourt, but was nakedly sabotaged by APC.”
Jibrin told Nigerians to remember “the good performance” of Atiku as ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s deputy.
The PDP leader insists the flagbearer is the best man to lead the country because “he’s not a tribalist”.
Jibrin further hailed the delegates, party members and urged them to work for a successful outing next year.
