He further stated that ‘PDM is rooted at the grassroots. We are fully prepare for anything politically that will come up even before 2015, even the forth coming Local Government polls’. Asked what informed their collective decision to form PDM he responded thus: ‘the collective people of PDM are democrats. We believe in democracy. There is no democracy in PDP that was why PDM which was a pressure group under PDP had to opt out to again have its lone identity, similar to how it was during the time of Shehu Musa Yaradua.

On the proposed national conference designed by president Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Abubakar throws his weight behind the decision and said it’s a welcome development.
