A political group, ‘PDP Concerned
Elders Consultative Forum’, has pleaded with former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar to return to the party.
This is as posters bearing image
of the chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, flooded the Katsina State
secretariat of the PDP, on Monday.
Inscriptions on some read:
“Wazirin, we earnestly want you back in PDP”; “Atiku, political son of Katsina
State for 2019”; “Wazirin, the bridge builder”.
A statement issued during a
meeting at the party Secretariat by some PDP leaders in the state, said its
members were sending a “Save Our Soul” to Atiku to return.
The statement titled, “A Save
-Our- Soul call for the return of His Excellency, the Wazirin Adamawa, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, to the Peoples Democratic Party”, was signed by the forum
chairman, Hussaini Dambo.
It said, “The forum wishes to
acknowledge and appreciate the unmistakable fact that the Wazirin Adamawa is a
‘political’ son of Katsina State to say the least and for obvious reasons,
which are not worthy of reiteration here.
“More importantly, the forum
wishes to appreciate the historical fact that the Wazirin Adamawa has made
varied indelible contributions to the foundation and development of the PDP and
indeed that of democratic politics in Nigeria for decades.
“This is not only worth being
remembered but it is also imperative to the current struggle being made by the
PDP to wriggle back to become the mainstream political party in Nigeria.
“Also, the history of defences
given to the struggle to sustain democracy in Nigeria’s recent past cannot
adequately be written without a serious mention of the immense contributions of
this great gentleman, who was in the frontline against those who at one time or
the other, chose to truncate the noble path of sustainable democracy in our
national body polity.
“In light of the foregoing
undeniable facts, we the members of this forum , together with our delegates
and millions of supporters wish to present this S.O .S call to His Excellency,
the Wazirin Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to return to the PDP without
further ado! We pray that he hearken to our call, and we seek the credible
indulgence of the PDP to receive him with open arms in order to ensure a
successful rebirth of the party.”
KATSINA PDP WELL DONE O, MAKE SURE U DO NOT RELENT BUT ENSURE YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT BURNING UNTIL YOU FINALLY SUCCEED IN 2019. MAY GOD HELP YOU O........
