Former vice-president of Nigeria,
Atiku Abubakar, has arrived in Minna, the Niger state capital, to meet with
former Military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.
Atiku was welcomed at the Minna
International Airport by Niger state Deputy Governor, Ahmed Ketso and the State
PDP Chairman, Barrister Tanko Beji, among other dignitaries.
His visit comes barely a day
after Babangida said there is nothing wrong with the former vice-president
dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the People Democratic
Party (PDP) insisting that constitution allows it.
IBB said: “Atiku is a Nigerian,
he is allowed to go to any party and our constitution allows it, so, it is not
new and there is nothing wrong for politician to move from one party to
another.”
Babangida disclosed this during a
visit on Wednesday by Governor Okowa of Delta, Ahmed Makarfi and top officials
of the party at his home in Minna, Niger State.
He also assured that Governor
Ifeanyi Okowa-led convention organising committee of the People’s Democratic
Party, PDP, will conduct a best, free and fair convention come Dec. 9th.
“I have here, the chairman of the
caretaker committee, former chairman of Kaduna State, the Chairman of
convention planning committee, the Governor of Delta State with the officials
for the convention, I am glad they are working hard and I have seen that they
want to make sure that the convention of the PDP is rancour free, transparent
and everybody will be given a level playing ground.
“PDP will see one of the best
convention like never before.” IBB added
