Atiku joins APC, says PDP is beyond redemption




A former Vice-President, Alhaji  Atiku Abubakar,  on Sunday announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Abubakar  said his resignation letter would be delivered to  the PDP  on Monday (today).
He also said, in a statement he personally signed, that he was joining the oppositionpolitical party, the All Progressives Congress.
The statement  came after the nationwide consultation that the former Vice-President embarked on in the last few weeks.
The consultation was as a result of the visit  of the  APC leaders to his Abuja residence  on December 18, 2013. The APC leaders had  asked him  to ditch the ruling party.
In the statement, Abubakar  listed some of the grievances he had against  the PDP to  include  the refusal of the leadership of the party  to listen to his numerous complaints.
For example, he said that in 2006, he and his supporters were pushed out of the PDP, a party   they worked tirelessly with other compatriots to build as a vehicle for  restoring democracy to our country.
But he said they later returned to  the PDP  in 2009 when a new leadership of the party promised a new direction.
Abubakar, however, regretted that this was not done.
Abubakar  said, “Sadly, however, those promises have not been kept.  In addition, the PDP continues to be beset with many crises, mostly leadership-induced crises.
“We have, therefore, concluded that that party (PDP) cannot be redeemed. In short the PDP has abandoned Nigerians, the very people who gave it life and many electoral victories.
“It has since lost touch with Nigerians and efforts made by many well-meaning members and stakeholders to bring it back to the vision of  its  founders have been rebuffed.
“To demonstrate the seriousness of the challenges and bring public attention to it,  I and some other leaders and stakeholders,  staged a walkout during the party’s last convention  on August 30.”
Those, who joined in the walkout included Governors  Aliyu Wamakko(Sokoto); Sule Lamido(Jigawa); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Aliyu Babangida(Niger); Abdulfatai Ahmed(Kwara ); Murtala Nyako(Adamawa) and Rabiu Kwakwanso(Kano). for more click -http://www.punchng.com/news/atiku-joins-apc-says-pdp-is-beyond-redemption/

THANK YOU LORD (IT'S MY BIRTHDAY)

    Years spent so far in this world have been so amazing in my life. I've smiled, I've laughed, I've screamed, I've cried, I've been down, I've been up and above all I'm grateful to God almighty . He deserves nothing but praise, praise and continuous worship. I'm more than happy for the blessings, mercies and favours he's bestowed on me and my family over the years. He might not have given me all that I wanted, but at least He sent all that I needed, and that what matters most to me now. I've been and will continue to share my joy with those who are less fortunate and share my happiness with those who need encouragement, share my laughter with those who have not heard any in such a long time, share my tears with those who have forgotten how to cry, share my faith and hope to those who have none. God all I can say is thank you so much for blessing me indeed, without you I am nothing but with you I have everything I'll ever need. I l...
