Five political parties have collapsed their structures into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and thrown weight behind the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The parties are; the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP), National Rescue Movement (NRM), and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The parties disclosed their decision at the grand finale rally of the PDP in Adamawa State.
Speaking on behalf of the other national chairmen of the political parties, National Chairman of the APM, Yusuf Dantele, said the parties arrived at the decision to adopt the PDP presidential flag bearer because he is the right man for the job.
He, however, said the parties will participate in the governorship, national and state assemblies elections.
The PDP also received defectors from various political parties including some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council.
Atiku and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State are rounding up their campaigns seven days before the presidential election slated for February 25.
