The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that he has moved on over the internal squabbles rocking his party.
Speaking on the PDP crisis during an exclusive interview with the Hausa Service Department of the Voice of America (VOA) in Washington, Atiku said, “We are yet to resolve the matter. But we have moved ahead. Our train has moved. We leave the dislocations to the dust bin of history,” he explained.
He further explained that he doesn’t support the removal of the party Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, as this is not a clever move as the elections are approaching.
“It is not proper, at this time, to contemplate a change of leadership of our party, whereas we are approaching the elections season,” Atiku said.
In order to tackle the problem of insecurity in the country, Starnews Nigeria reports that the Waziri of Adamawa promised to amend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The overhaul of the constitution is imperative. We would confront this issue by convoking a constitutional review so that states and local governments, to whom we intend to give the imprimatur to run their security affairs, would be able to do so. But this requires amendment of constitution.
“Before we embark on this, we intend to employ more boots on ground, especially in the area of policing and civil defence, all of which we want to equip properly,” Atiku said.
