Group Backs Atiku, Says PDP is Not Dead, will Bounce Back Again
Group under aegis of Atiku Haske Organization (AHO), Niger State Chapter has backed the former Vice President,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over his recent pronouncement made that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is not a finished or dead party.
According to group, there is no doubt that Atiku Abubakar’s strategic leadership prowess ,characterized by a keen understanding of Nigeria’s socio-political landscape and an ability to navigate its complexities with finesse, will surely be deployed to bounce back .
The group , which expressed strong optimism on the PDP’s Presidential flag bearer in the 2023 general elections , stated, “Atiku ‘s experience and strong conviction about party politics will serve as a catalyst to address the pockets of problems within the party”.
In a statement made available to journalists today, Atiku Haske Organization Niger State Chapter, which stated this ,said those insinuating that PDP is dead are mere jokers,who have lost count of political developments in Nigeria.
The statement signed by the Spokesman ,Alhaji Aminu Sani Bello reads: “People easily forgot the great Nigeria during the days of PDP in power; how the economy was not only vibrant, but also internationally rated as the fastest growing in the world with statistics to show for these feats.
“We can authoritatively boast that PDP is not yet dead; not yet extinct; it is still alive, but could be facing normal political challenges. Thus, it’s more appropriate to say that PDP is in a another face of political travail . However, The we make bold to say whether the party can survive, the storm now or escape extinction, depends on how Atiku handles Nyesom Wike and his gang of renegades.
“The alternative argument is that Wike and his gang are actually the real PDP; that they control the party, while the “official” PDP is a shell of a party. And, we think why Wike so powerful that he seems untouchable is because Atiku has tried to Democratic over his matter?
“We believe that No serious political party will allow any member such as Wike to grab its jugular and threaten its existence, as Wike does to the PDP, without fighting back, without enforcing party discipline.
“At this we call PDP party stakeholders to combine forces with Atiku consider his ability to build consensus across party lines and foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders to debase former Governor Wike.
“We are happy to back Atiku simply because of his leadership qualities of strategic vision, political maturity, calm demeanor, and unwavering resilience set him apart as a leader per excellence in Nigerian politics.”
