Atiku Defects To The PDP - PDP Welcomes Atiku’s Return

By -

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar’s official rejoining of the party as
a “welcome development.”
The PDP praised Mr. Abubakar’s defection in a press release
signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Prince
Dayo Adeyeye, and published on Sunday.
The former vice president had left the PDP to join the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC), but announced on Sunday that
he was returning to the PDP.
The opposition party said that it believes Mr. Abubakar’s
return will help rebuild the party ahead of the 2019 general
elections.
In its press release, the PDP urged others who have defected
from the PDP to “return home,” while encouraging
dissatisfied members of the APC and other parties to join the
PDP.
“We are equally extending our invitation to all those in the
APC who are frustrated by the party’s failure to deliver the
goods,” Mr. Adeyeye said. “Anyone who is desirous of a
return to the era of abundance and freedom under the PDP
administration is welcome. The umbrella is big enough to
accommodate all.”
The press release also announced that the PDP would be
electing new national leaders on December 9-10, 2017. The
party invited all members to congregate in Eagle Square, Abuja
to partake in the election.
