Yusuf Dantalle, the party’s national chairman, made the announcement during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday night.
According to him, the decision was made following a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee on critical national issues, specifically the upcoming presidential election.
The adoption of Atiku implies that the APM will not support its presidential candidate, Princess Chichi Ojei.
Dantalle stated that the party made the decision after evaluating Atiku and his running mate, Okowa, and determined that it was in the national interest to elect them as president and vice president in the upcoming election.

While describing the former vice president as the best and only presidential candidate capable of saving Nigeria, he stated that the country required a competent, experienced, visionary, resourceful, and dynamic leader to address the country’s numerous challenges and chart a new course for the next four years.
“The APM has confidence in the leadership of Atiku-Okowa and will collapse its structures nationwide to campaign for their presidential ticket.
“However, the party will contest other elective positions including Senate, House of Representatives, Governorship and State House of Assembly seats.
“APM presented credible candidates for these positions and sure of victory in Governorship and Legislative seats.
“National interest supersedes partisan politics. We must join hands to rebuild our beloved nation and make Nigeria great again.
“The party urges Nigerians to come out en masse and vote for PDP’s presidential candidate and his running mate, Atiku and Okowa. The umbrella symbol of the party is big enough to accommodate fellow compatriots and turn around the destiny of the nation.”
