Recall that Atiku had returned to the Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress in December, 2016.
And according to a close associate, the Waziri Adamawa will do the formal declaration third week of June in Abuja.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will declare his intention to run for the office of the President in the second or third week of next month (June) having gone round the country with his message of salvation for a nation at cross road,” Vanguard quoted the associate as saying.
“Leaders of thought and national statesmen are behind him but it is too early in the day to speak on what he is bringing to the table.
“He was at the Chatham House in April and that led to the postponement of the big event (the declaration).
“You will agree with me that he needs a nod of approval of the delegates first and I can say without mincing words that the Wazirin Adamawa is more than prepared to make himself available for credible, free and fair primaries where the party will pick its Presidential candidate.”
