Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has urged the Peoples Democratic Party to rescue Nigerians from the “misgovernment” of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said this while congratulating Uche Secondus over his emergence as national chairman of the PDP.
He said the opposition party must be united to take over power again.
“Our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party is, again, at the threshold of a historical moment. Just as we mobilized to put an end to prolonged military rule in 1999, the people of Nigeria at this moment look up to us to rescue the country from the misgovernment of the APC,” he said in a statement.
“Arising from our elective congress, there should be no victor and no vanquished. Our paramount attention should be focused at sacking a government that deceived the people of Nigeria into power by promising our youths three million jobs annually, only to deliver three million job losses annually; a government that is repeatedly living in denial of its commitment to restructuring.
“We must be united to take power back to where it belongs – the Nigerian people.
“As members of the PDP, we must take pride in being able to hold a national convention and in so doing live up to the bill of being a truly democratic political party. Our major opponent has not been able to achieve this feat and I join millions of our party members to congratulate the Ahmed Makarfi-led national caretaker committee.”
