BEVERLY HILLS, September 18, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Renaissance Group has called on former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to return to the PDP, alleging that there is a high-profile conspiracy in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to make the Turakin Adamawa politically extinct.
National coordinator of the PDP Renaissance Group, Chief Chyna Iwuanyanwu, who made this claim in a statement issued on Monday, declared that Atiku has no business whatsoever remaining in the APC.
While appreciating the circumstance which compelled Atiku’s exit from PDP, he pointed out that with the olive branch being extended and the magnanimity of the present PDP leadership, the coast has been cleared for Atiku’s triumphant return to the party he rightly belongs.
Iwuanyanwu, who is an ally of the former Vice President, said, “The exit of some of those who were the architects of the political misfortunes of Atiku in the PDP and the high profile conspiracy in the APC to politically extinct him by the same forces now gathered in APC the former Vice President has no business whatsoever in the APC.
“Former vice president Atiku has been in a political wilderness, in a strange land, co-habiting with strange bed follows who are ideologically incompatible with his patriotic vision for Nigeria and his democratic antecedents and credentials.
‘’With the recent resolution of the crisis that nearly consumed the PDP, the leaders and members of the party have learnt great lessons and are totally committed to taking the party back to the vision of the founding fathers of the party one of whom is the former vice president.”
The PDP Renaissance Group said it would be leading a high-level delegation to the former Vice President and other eminent leaders who left the party or were alienated by the cabal that hitherto hijacked the party and brought it on its knees, warning that under no circumstance should PDP go back to Egypt.
Iwuanyanwu however expressed satisfaction with the resolve of the Ahmed Makarfi-led PDP to stamp out impunity, imposition, god-fatherism and the lack of internal democracy which were at the center of the crisis that led to a disastrous outing in the 2015 elections.
The PDP Renaissance Group described itself as a group of party patriot who came together to embark on advocacy against injustice, imposition and hijack of the party and the national political space by those he described as “Pharaohs” in the party.
The statement added that the PDP Renaissance Group’s foundation members include: all victims and causalities of the 2008, 2012, and 2013 primaries, congress and conventions.
