Following the defection announcement of Nigeria’s Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki from the rulling party All Progressive Party (APC) to the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), about few hours ago. Former Nigeria’s Vice-President and PDP‘s presidential aspirant in the next year general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar welcomes Bukola Saraki back to the PDP.
According to political analyst both Atiku and Saraki might be gunning for same presidential ticket in the party, for next year general election. Though, we’ll wait on how both strong politicians can come together on how they can form an alliances that can defect Buhari in next year election.
I received the news that the Senate President, Senator @bukolasaraki, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, with great joy.

What the APC did to Senator Saraki is what they have also done to Nigeria as a nation. They have degraded our democracy and our economy.

I therefore not only welcome @bukolasaraki’s resignation from the APC, I also urge him to go one step further and join the only party capable of enshrining genuine democracy in Nigeria as well as lasting economic progress.

I urge Senator Saraki to join our great party, the @OfficialPDPNig. May God bless Nigeria and may God bless the PDP.
