A unified Presidential Campaign Committee is taking shape, possibly chaired by Atiku Abubakar, to map out the strategy on how to garner votes from the length and breadth of the country for Goodluck Jonathan’s run for President.
Both Atiku and Ibrahim Babangida disclosed on Sunday that they will not go to court over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries on January 13, where Jonathan won the Presidential ticket.
Sources in the party headquarters in Abuja said a unified campaign team and other election matters have been discussed by a caucus and other organs.
In this wise, the Campaign Organisations of Jonathan and Atiku, hitherto at loggerheads, may be collapsed into the Presidential Campaign Committee.
The leaders of the party are anxious to reconcile and repair all breaches caused by the primaries.
The move to draft Atiku to head the campaign was started by Jonathan himself, in conjunction with the PDP hierarchy and some Governors.
Jonathan has reached out to Atiku with a proposal to unify their forces, which will be headed by him, a major development as the party gears up for the campaign proper.
