According to him, it was the
response of the Acting President to the security siege at the National Assembly
that made the opposition party allow Akpabio to go.
He, however, said that the PDP
wants Akpabio to learn from the past.
He also said the PDP was happy
“donating ” the former Senate Minority Leader, to the APC.
Akpabio, a former chieftain of the PDP had yesterday, officially dumped the party under
which he was elected a two-time governor, for the APC.
Walid said it was within his
right to decamp to another party, adding that there were competent hands in the
party to take over from him.
“The recent attempt to tamper
with the legitimate function of the National Assembly by selfish individuals
who attempted to block the Assembly should be condemned and appropriate action
taken against the intruders,” Walid told reporters in Abuja yesterday.
“In this respect, the Acting
President Osinbajo should be praised for taking a decision to do away with the
DSS boss, promising that the situation will be further investigated.
“The purported resignation of our
minority Leader, Godwill Akpabio is also an act of democracy.
“Therefore, considering the
recent action taken by Acting President Osinbajo, the PDP is happy to donate
Senator Godwill Akpabio to APC through him with great pleasure, as we have many
PDP Senators to do that job which has been upgraded to majority leader.
“On behalf of the BOT we wish
Akpabio bye-bye and safe journey, advising him to learn from history especially
from those that left us and are now returning in droves,” he said.
