Despite Misrule, Don’t Take Defeat Of APC For Granted, Atiku Urges PDP Chiefs

Atiku Abubakar has called for caution from supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP not to take the defeat of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for granted despite what he described as the seven years of misrule by the APC.

Atiku spoke on Monday while receiving his certificate of return at the national secretariat of the PDP in Abuja.

“The callous and dangerous APC misrule over the past seven years is there for everyone to see,” Atiku said in calling for caution from those who envisage an easy defeat of the ruling party adding “we should not take their defeat for granted.”

“We must unite and work extremely hard for every single vote in this country. There is so much to do and there is little time to waste.  So, let’s get to work.

Appreciating the gesture from the party as he received the certificate of return, Atiku said:

“I am honoured and quite humbled to receive this Certificate of Return, having emerged as our party’s Presidential Candidate in our just concluded Special Convention. This victory is a victory for all of us, for our party and for the vast majority of Nigerians suffering under the misrule of the APC.  It was a collective effort, and I am very grateful for everybody’s contributions.”

 While appreciating those who contributed to his victory, Atiku also lauded party officials who he said provided a level playing field for the exercise.

“My chairman, my dear friends, while I am excited and happy for this opportunity to bear our party’s flag, let us all remember that what just happened is a contest within a family to decide how to put our best foot forward. The main contest is the one to win the Presidency of our country for our Party,” Atiku said in reiterating his caution that the defeat of the APC would not be easy despite the claims of misrule by the party.

“And it requires the entire PDP family and other supporters and sympathizers. We must pull everyone together. Nobody should be excluded. I have already visited some of those who contested against me as a way to lead in that effort to unify the party so that we can face our real opponents, defeat them in the elections and begin the process of rescuing and rebuilding this country.”
