Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, has reacted to the massive defection of Senators and House of Reps
members to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Recall that no
fewer than 15 senators of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Tuesday,
defected to the PDP.
Similarly, a total of 37 members
of the House of Representatives announced their official defection from the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, reacting to the
development, Atiku commended the lawmakers for their courage.
He said their action indicated
that there was hope that Nigeria could be rescued from the misrule of the APC
government.
He wrote on Twitter, ”The
decision of a significant number of members of both the Senate and the House of
Representatives to leave the APC and decamp into the PDP clearly indicates that
there is hope that the country can be rescued from the misrule of the APC
government.
”I want to extol the courage of
those legislators for standing up for a mission of salvaging our democracy.
”At such a time like this when
the APC has brought our country to an all-time low, it is commendable that
these lawmakers have chosen to be on the right side of the moment and history
shall keep a noble account of their exceptional courage
”The choice of the PDP as a
preferred destination is an endorsement of the kind of leadership the national
chairman of the @OfficialPDPNig, Prince Uche Secondus has provided since
assuming office.”
