The Allied peoples Movement (APM) after its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting Thursday, on the upcoming presidential election, has decided to adopt the candidates of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa for the February 25th presidential election.
Chairman of the party, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, said after evaluating the democratic credentials of Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa, APM considers it appropriate in national interest to adopt them for president and vice president in the forthcoming election.
According to him, “Atiku-Okowe ticket is the best and the only presidential ticket to rescue the nation that has been drifting to anarchy.
“Nigeria needs a competent, experienced, visionary, resourceful and dynamic leader to resolve its multifarious challenges and chart a new course for the nation in next four years.
“APM has confidence in the leadership of Atiku-Okowa and will collapse its structures nationwide to campaign for their presidential ticket.”
Speaking further, Dantalle said the party will however, contest other elective positions, including Senate, House of Representatives, Governorship and State House of Assembly seats.
He said APM presented credible candidates for these positions and is sure of victory in governorship and legislative seats.
“National interest supersedes partisan politics. We must join hands to rebuild our beloved nation and make Nigeria great again.
The party urges Nigerians to come out en masse and vote for PDP’s presidential candidate and his running mate, Atiku and Okowa. The umbrella symbol of the party is big enough to accommodate fellow compatriots and turnaround the destiny of the nation”, he said.
