Atiku & Saraki. |
Former Vice President,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar welcomes the decampment of members of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the National Assembly into the Peoples
Democratic Party remarking that it is an indication that the ruling party is a
sinking ship.
Atiku notes that the
decampment from the APC further explains the lack of capacity of the ruling
party to hold and manage a political party, and indeed a government, and calls
on the new entrants to see their decampment as a call to duty.
“The decision of a
significant number of members of both the Senate and the House of
Representatives to leave the APC and decamp into the PDP clearly indicates that
there is hope that the country can be rescued from the misrule of the APC
government.
“I want to extol the courage
of those legislators for standing up for a mission of salvaging our democracy,
restoring the economy to make it work for Nigerians, creating opportunities for
the teeming youth, promoting unity and security to lives and property.
“At such a time like this
when the APC has brought our country to an all-time low in poor management of
the economy and millions of Nigerians out of job; the daily killings of
Nigerians while the police is being deployed to persecute political opponents –
it is commendable that these lawmakers have chosen to be on the right side of
the moment and history shall keep a noble account of their exceptional
courage,” Atiku said.
The former Vice President
congratulates the Peoples Democratic Party for presenting itself as a suitable
platform for the new entrants.
He emphasized that the
choice of the PDP as a preferred destination for them is an endorsement of the
kind of leadership the national chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has
provided since assuming office.
“Like I said at my
declaration rally in Yola barely 72 hours ago, there are more mass defections
from the APC into the PDP and it is important to mention that these defections
signify a vote of no confidence in the APC-led government and the 2019 election
is going to be a referendum of how the APC shattered the expectations of
Nigerians”.
