Former Vice President and presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, Atiku Abubakar, said on Wednesday that PDP’s doomsday was only being postponed as a result of the nullification of Saturday’s bye-election in Adamawa State by the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Atiku, in a statement issued through his media office in Abuja, said the people of Adamawa State were eager to see a new Adamawa, hence they were already set to vote against the PDP on Saturday before the shocking judgment.
Atiku said that despite the development, the PDP will still be kicked out whenever the elections are held, because the people are now yearning for change.
He said, “The judicial verdict that may have tacitly cancelled the governorship by-election in Adamawa State for now was a painful development for the membership of the APC in Adamawa State.
“As leaders of the party, we shall respect the verdict of the court, but we must be quick to say that the verdict has merely delayed the overwhelming desire of the people of Adamawa State to vote for change and thumbs down the PDP imposition on the people. Clearly we in the APC had the momentum and therefore an advantage going into Saturday’s election.
“The people of Adamawa want a change. They expressed that desire throughout the nooks and crannies of the state as evidenced in the massive momentum going for the candidate of our party during the electioneering campaign.
