Attahiru Bafarawa
Former Sokoto governor Attahiru Bafarawa has disclosed that immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan made him join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during a visit to the former president, Bafarawa stated that Jonathan was instrumental to his becoming a member of the party in 2014.
He said: “Jonathan is a real democrat who showed leadership by example of accepting defeat in order to ensure the unity and survival of democracy in the country.
“Jonathan was instrumental to my joining the PDP because of respect and trust.
“I did not join politics for the sake of money or personal interest. If I lose at the primaries, I will not leave the party, but work with whoever emerges as winner, for the sake of the party.”
