Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says he will work for the success of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) even if he does not win the presidential ticket.
Speaking with members of the party in Minna, Niger state, on Thursday, Abubakar said all the presidential aspirants met with the national working committee of the party on Wednesday and agreed to support whoever emerges as the party’s flagbearer in the 2019 elections.
He said he was ready to align with the decision.
“I am ever ready to work towards the success of the party if level playing ground is provided during the party primaries,” he said.
