Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally
defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The decision was communicated to
journalists today.
The former Vice President explained
that he took the decision after realising that the Peoples Democratic Party cannot
be redeemed, as its leadership has refused to following due process.He cited his continued neglect and sideline from the affairs of the party and non-invitation to the PDP Board of Trustee meeting as some of his misgivings.
Atiku, in a statement issued by his
Media Office in Abuja on Sunday said after nationwide consultations, he
concluded that it was time to move to the APC, to sustain what he called the
bridge building.
He recalled being pushed out of the PDP in 2006 because of his firm stand on the constitution and defence of the nation’s democracy but returned in 2009, hoping the PDP would reverse its rules.
You will recall that Vice President Atiku Abubakar defected from the PDP to Action Congress in 2007, but failed to achieve his presidential ambition.
After bankrolling the activities of the Action
Congress, Atiku Abubakar dumped the party for PDP, and subsequently held a
peace meeting with his boss, former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
