It was gathered that these key party members are no fewer than seven state Governors, serving ministers, several lawmakers in both houses as well as others holding key positions in the government and the parties have concluded plans to dump the party and follow the former Vice President.

It was gathered that the exit of Atiku on Friday morning after months of speculations has sent fear into the various camps and groups in the party which is likely to adversely affect the party ahead of the 2019 general elections.

According to a source inside the party, he said, “We are not comfortable with the sudden exit of Atiku Abubakar because definitely his exit will shake our Party because he has his followers he brought while coming into the Party and within the time he stayed he actually made more followers.
