Atiku Visits Jonathan, Pledges Loyalty by Imeobong(m): 6:08pm On Feb 23, 2010
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar last night paid a visit to the Acting President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aguda House in a show of support.

Atiku spent more than 45 minutes with the Acting President and held a closed door meeting. Details of the meeting was not available as at press time but sources privy to the visit told Pointblanknews.com that issues discussed bordered on the political situation in the country.

The source further stated that the former Vice President and chieftain of the Action Congress, AC pledged his support and loyalty to the Acting President.

“The former Vice President promised to support the Acting President in any way possible and they both discussed on how to move the country forward in view of the current political issue,” a source told Pointblanknews.com.

Atiku belongs to the People’s Democratic Movement, PDM, a political group led by late General Shehu Yar’Adua, elder brother of President Musa Yar’Adua. During the 1999 Presidential election, the group adopted former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a close ally of the late Shehu Yar’Adua. Obasanjo’s acceptability in the North was said to be largely as a result of the PDM.

What loyalty? For what?

Jonathan needs good helping hands, not from the likes of Atiku.

I thought Jonathan has banned solidarity visits?
