Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has advised former vice president, Atiku Abubakar to consider returning to Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, early enough to fulfil eligibility condition before 2019 general election.
This Day reports that the meeting was held at the instance of Atiku, who is reportedly considering offers from PDP chieftains to return to the party.
“Atiku was advised to return early to enable him to fulfil the eligibility condition in the party’s constitution and also have ample time to integrate his political structure into the PDP’s,” a source privy to the meeting said.
The source added that it was made clear to Atiku, that he stood a better chance to realise his ambition in the PDP than the APC, since President Muhammadu Buhari looked set to be given a right of first refusal by his party’s leadership
