We Are Glad Atiku Realised APC’s ‘Lies’ – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is happy former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has finally realised that he was being deceived by his former party.

In a statement issued Sunday by its national publicity secretary Dayo Adeyeye, the PDP also welcomed the former vice president who rejoined the party a few days after he left the All Progressive Congress (APC).


“We are indeed glad that he (Atiku) has realised the unbridled lies/deceit of his former party, the All Progressive Congress (APC),” the statement said.

“The PDP remains his home; a house he was part of building and which he helped to nurture. We believe his return will add value in the process of rebuilding our party to greater heights.”

The PDP described Atiku’s return as another milestone recorded by its leadership in the quest to reconcile, rebuild and restructure the party ahead of the 2019 general elections and beyond.

With the development, Adeyeye said the PDP leadership would continue to remain transparent and dedicated to the service of the party while he called on former party members in other political parties to return home.

“We are equally extending our invitation to all those in the APC who are frustrated by the party’s failure to deliver the goods. 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.

“We enjoin our members nationwide to come together as one family, as we march to Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday 9 – Sunday 10, December 2017, to elect our new leaders who will manage the affairs of our party at the national level,” he said.
