A stalwart of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has appealed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to join the party to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Galadima made the appeal on Monday in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, monitored by DAILY POST.
The appeal came a day after former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, counterpart, Rabiu Kwankwaso, joined the NDC.
The political heavyweights defected to the NDC from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, citing court cases and internal divisions.
Speaking on the programme, Galadima said, “We didn’t leave the ADC until there was a judgment setting a booby trap for everybody within the ADC.
“This is why we are using this opportunity to call on the remnants of our comrades in the ADC to come to the NDC, where we will have a level playing ground.
“We are particularly calling on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to jump ship and come to the NDC so that there will be a level playing ground for everybody.”
