The Action Alliance (AA) on Monday endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for next month’s presidential election in Nigeria.

The National Chairman of the AA, Chief Kenneth Udeze, who stated this at a press conference at the party’s headquarters in Abuja said the party was prepared to work with believers of true federalism and efficiency in governance.

“We are for Atiku/Obi leadership and we are glad to work with all believers of true federalism and efficient administration of governance at all levels to accomplish this as we approach the forthcoming elections.

“The National Executives Committee (NEC) of our party is on the same page concerning our support for Atiku, same with all our state chapters in this matter.

“We hereby restate out position through this medium that AA, as a certified and active member of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) have not for a moment reconsidered or wished to alter that position.

“For your information, AA moved the motion for the adoption of Atiku as the presidential candidate of CUPP and we are on it to the end,” Udeze said.

The AA Chairman added that the support for Atiku and Obi was to facilitate the growth of the country’s democracy and the required restructuring of the country.
