Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice President has ended weeks of speculation by announcing his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to join the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement released yesterday, Abubakar accused the PDP of losing “touch with Nigerians,” and failing to resolve its many internal conflicts.
“As I speak, most of the issues that led to that walk-out are yet to be addressed. Many founding members of the PDP, I included, continue to be marginalised and excluded from the affairs of the party,” he said.
"We have, therefore, concluded that that party cannot be redeemed. In short the PDP has abandoned Nigerians, the very people who gave it life and many electoral victories."
“I have, therefore, decided to cast my lot with the APC, a party of change committed to the improvement of the lives of our people.”
