The Chairman of the National
Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed
Makarfi, has claimed that they have been expecting the return of former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar to the party.
Makarfi told the Nigerian Tribune
on Sunday that Atiku is welcomed to the party and he is looking forward to
receive former PDP members who defected to other parties.
“We have been expecting it and
are expecting many more people to follow. The PDP welcomes him and will gladly
welcome others,” Makarfi said.
Atiku announced his return to the
PDP via his Facebook page on Sunday.
The former vice-president, who
had resigned from the APC in November, said he joined the ruling party hoping
it will be the “new force that will help improve life for our people”.
He said: “I was excited about the
party’s (APC) manifesto to create 3m new jobs a year.
“The result has not been the
change people had been promised or voted for as in the last two years, almost
3m Nigerians have lost their jobs.
“And today we have a record of
25% of people aged between 18 and 25years unemployed. I can see how difficult
it is for people to find a job.”
