According to report, the former vice president is set to formerly move to the PDP on Saturday, November 25 in Adamawa ahead of the party’s national convention scheduled for November 9.

Atiku is expected to collect his membership card in his Jada 1 polling ward in his state as his supporter prepare for what they tagged as “Atiku’s home coming.”

A member of Atiku’s political group who spoke on the condition of anonymity said “thousands of supporters had been mobilised from the 21 local areas in the state.

‎”Twenty buses have been allocated to each local government area for the event; the buses will convey supporters to Yola.”

Barrister Tahir Shehu who is the state chairman of the PDP neither confirmed nor denied the development when asked about it.

He said: ‎”It could be true but I cannot make further comment. We have been courting the former VP to return to the party.”

Alhaji Lawan Uba who is the Director of Mobilization of Atiku Support Group claimed the former vice president was ready to move the PDP except there is a last-minutes change of plan.

He said: “We’ve cleared the terrain and Atiku will come to the PDP tomorrow; this is certain unless there is last minute change because already many people from Abuja and other places are in Yola ahead of the formal event even though the elaborate ceremony will come up later,” he said.

“Atiku has no business in APC, he has been betrayed and he would definitely come to PDP and make the desired impact of changing the lives of Nigerians.”

Meanwhile, Atiku condemned the bomb attack at a mosque in Mubi, Adamawa state, which killed no fewer than 50 people and injured several others.

According to a report, Abubakar who described the attack as “a heart-rending crime against human liberty” called on the people living in the north east Nigeria to be vigilant.
