‘Please Don’t Abandon PDP’ – Atiku Begs Party Members

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential nominee, has referred to his group as “government-in-waiting.”

This was said by the PDP presidential candidate on Saturday during a retreat for incoming PDP lawmakers in Bauchi state.

While they awaited the decision of the conflict at the presidential election petition tribunal, he exhorted the party members not to give up.

The Waziri cautioned the PDP members against considering quitting the party as a result of the short-term setback, insisting that ultimately, the truth would win out.

Atiku said, “You’re representatives of the party and your constituents. Do not be tempted to abandon your party just because of a temporary setback. In the end, the truth and good shall triumph over falsehood and evil,” Atiku told the lawmakers-elect.

“Therefore, you must please remain resolute. Do not work in isolation from one another. You’re a team and should always work as a team in other to achieve meaningful results and also remain connected to your roots, your constituents and other stakeholders.

“Based on the results announced by INEC and pending the determination of the electoral challenges in the court, our members-elect are not the majority in the national assembly. So, for the time being, they have to prepare to work as an effective, constructive opposition while also preparing for a possible role as the majority party when the cases are resolved.

“Don’t ever lose hope. The role of the opposition is to hold the government and majority party to account. And in doing so, you demonstrate that you and your party are ready to govern in the shortest possible time — a government-in-waiting — so to speak.”
