The All Progressives Congress,
APC, has said it would solve its problems without the former Vice President,
Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku officially announced his
defection to the opposition party on Sunday after initially resigning from the
APC.
The National Publicity Secretary
of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi spoke with Punch in reaction to Atiku’s
defection on Sunday.
He said, “What reason did he give
for leaving the PDP in the first place? Have they (PDP) addressed their
problems?
“If yes, so, they did it without
him. If he has found PDP attractive now because they have solved their
problems, it means we will also solve our problems without him; then he can
come back to our party.”
APC said Atiku’s assertions about
happenings within the APC would have carried more weight if he was still a
member.
It added, “I believe that if the
former vice-president had spoken out when he was in the party, perhaps, we
would have made progress in that respect.
“To now begin to speak after he
has left the party shows that there are some things that he should have done
that he didn’t do.”
Reacting to Atiku’s claim that he
would defeat Buhari in the 2019 election, the party’s mouthpiece added, “I
believe that the reasons Nigerians voted for President Buhari in 2015 are still
pertinent.
“They voted President Buhari
because they needed a leader who has integrity, strong on corruption and
capable of defeating Boko Haram.
“If he stands for election in
2019, we believe Nigerians would still vote for him.”
