Thirty nine parties to adopt Atiku

Barely six hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerged as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 general elections, a coalition of 39 political parties has declared its readiness to adopt him as joint presidential candidate.

The parties under the umbrella of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), led by the PDP said they would adopt him as consensus candidate for the election in order to dislodge president Muhammad Buhari.

The CUPP in a statement last night by its Spokesman, Ikenga Ugochinyere said the process of his adoption would start this week.
