However the matter has since been “resolved to a large extent” in the absence of Atiku, who travelled to the UK after clinching the PDP presidential primary ticket, according to inside sources

“Still the PDP presidential candidate wants to make sure he takes nothing for granted, especially since we have just few days for the commencement of full campaign  ” a campaign team members said on Wednesday morning in Abuja.
