Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on PDP leaders to unite for the sake of the party’s interest and the country.
Abubakar made the call in a statement issued by his Media Adviser Paul Ibe in Abuja on Thursday while reacting to the current frictions in the PDP.He said that the party could not afford to be divided at this critical point in time when Nigerians were desperately yearning for change.
He urged the party’s faithful to understand that the price of having a fragmented PDP was too high to pay, “but above all, a betrayal to the memories of the founding fathers of the party”.Abubakar said that he was later involved in reconciliation efforts within the party across the country and had backed reconciliation processes aimed at diffusing tensions in the party.
“The PDP is greater than our individual ambitions. We have to consolidate the party first before we talk about our ambitions.“We can’t afford a one-party system in Nigeria that denies our people a viable alternative for true change in 2023,” Abubakar said.
