2019 election:PDP says NO Automatic ticket for Atiku

The People Democratic Party, PDP, has said there will be no automatic ticket for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should he return to the party.
Addressing newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday, Chairman, Board of Trustees of the party , Senator Walid Jibrin, ruled out granting a sole ticket to the former Vice-President.
According to him, should Atiku return to the party as being speculated in some quarters, he and other aspirants would struggle for the party’s presidential ticket.
He said with the treatment being meted out to Atiku by the APC, he (Atiku) had no option than to join the PDP ahead of 2019.
Jibrin said, “Has he told you he is returning to the PDP ? We are ready to accept him to our party but he should be ready to work for a waiver.
“The North met in Abuja to say that any candidate from the North can contest . Let us get them. I think they are getting set now.
“For now , we have a former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido; a former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, and so on preparing to vie for the PDP presidential ticket.
“If the PDP grants Atiku a waiver, he should then join the cream of presidential aspirants in the party to fight for the ticket in 2019.
“If the PDP considers Atiku for the automatic presidential ticket, what about those in the party who are showing interest?
“Should we throw them away? If he is coming, he should come as an equal partner
