Deputy President of the Senate ,
Ike Ekweremadu, has reacted to the return of the former Vice-President, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Ekwerenmadu described Atiku’s
decision as a welcome development, not only for the party but also for
Nigeria’s democracy.
The former Vice President had
last week, announced his resignation from the APC and later defected to the PDP
on Sunday.
The DSP in a statement by his
Special Adviser on Media, Uche Anichukwu, on Sunday, said the move represented
a “massive” Vote of No Confidence on the leadership capacity of the APC.
He said the vote first came from
the masses “and now by the cream of its hierarchy and founding members.”
He said, “The dumping of the APC
by Alhaji Atiku is a welcome development for the PDP, but more importantly for
Nigeria’s democracy.
“Nigeria is in dire need of a
rescue mission to rekindle hope in our democracy, restore it on the path of
prosperity and halt the worsening divisiveness that threatens our corporate
existence.
“I, therefore, enjoin all former
PDP faithful who left for various reasons as well as other progressive – minded
Nigerians to emulate Alhaji Atiku; to reunite under the umbrella (of the PDP)
to salvage the nation because I see a new and better Nigeria coming in 2019.
“I see a country where corruption
will be eradicated; a nation that will be a pride to Africa and admiration of
the international community; and a nation where no man will be oppressed,
intimidated, persecuted or sidelined on account of ethnicity, religion or
political persuasion. No amount of desperation will stop the will of God for
Nigeria in 2019.”
