Kwande said: “I know you will be surprised to see me in the state’s PDP Secretariat. I have never entered this secretariat but today I am in your midst. I have never stood where I am standing now. There is a reason for me being here.
“If today you I say I am not together with Atiku, you are already a mad man. I am fully with Atiku and my loyalty to Atiku is very certain. There are many people waiting for this day and the day has come. They were speculating that they will see whether I will welcome him."

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com earlier reported that supporters of Atiku Abubakar, have pleaded with ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to end his rift with his former vice president in order to enhance Atiku’s chances in the 2019 presidential election.
Atiku, who served as vice-president during the Obasanjo administration, reportedly fell out with the ex-president after an alleged botched third term bid of his principal.
The group under the umbrella of Reset Foundation, said they were practically pleading on their knees for Obasanjo to support Atiku’s presidential bid.
