Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has denied that he is planning to join ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM).
Reports had emerged that Atiku was willing to join Obasanjo’s newly formed Movement.
However, speaking with Daily Post on the matter, the spokesperson of the former vice president, Paul Ibe said: “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is focusing on the hope of his new political party.
“His Excellency is in the Peoples Democratic Party which is in expansion. The party is reaching out to its members who defected to the APC prior to the 2015 election and also reaching out to other political parties.
“Obasanjo’s Movement is an anachronism. No one knows the direction of the Coalition and you don’t expect his Excellency to be part of such movement.
“You can’t work with a man like Obasanjo who has dismissed your political party. He has even torn his membership card and declared his retirement from partisan politics. So what is his movement all about?
“Atiku cannot belong to Obasanjo’s sponsored Movement.”
