The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said that with with 15 members of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at National Assembly decamping to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was an indication that the ruling party was a sinking ship.
Atiku noted that the decampment from the APC further explained lack of capacity of the ruling party to hold and manage a political party, and indeed a government, just as he called on the new entrants to see decsion as a call to duty.
Through a statement issued on Tuesday by the the former vice president’s media office, Atiku stated that decision of a significant number of members of both the senate and the House of Representatives to left 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, restoring the economy to make it work for Nigerians, creating opportunities for the teeming youth, promoting unity and security to lives and property.
