Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar on Thursday said concerted efforts are being made to address the grievances of the opposition party members.
The former vice president disclosed this in a series of tweets on Thursday.
He said all party members, including governors “are much loved and respected” by him.
Mr Atiku said, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will remain united. Focus on our actions. We are taking action to address the feelings of all party members,” the former vice-president tweeted.
“The unity in our community is my priority. Our resolve to unify Nigeria starts in our party and moves to the community, then on to society.
“Every Governor, Legislator, and other elected officials produced by our party, and party members and loyalists, are much loved and respected by me.
“When they speak, I listen. I do not only listen. Appropriate actions have been taken, are being taken, and will continue to be advanced.”
The opposition party is facing a crisis over the emergence of Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as Atiku’s running mate instead of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike, whom the party’s national working committee (NWC) recommended for the position.
