PDP CRISIS: Atiku Is Indebted To PDP – Presidency

The Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Ahmed Gulak, on Monday, September 2, stated that former vice president Atiku Abubakar is indebted to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and should not be in the vanguard of “party’s factionalization”.

Gulak also said that Atiku should be grateful to the party for reabsorbing him and giving him waiver to contest the 2011 presidential primaries.

He said this today while talking to State House correspondents in Abuja. According to Gulak, Atiku is expected to protect the party at all times.

“Atiku as a politician, I was surprised because he is supposed to know more than another person that there is no party like PDP. He left PDP and went to the Action Congress of Nigeria and he came back to PDP, because he discovered that outside PDP there is no party.”

“So he had to come back and he was even given the waiver to contest the presidential primaries in 2011. Atiku should be grateful to PDP. Atiku is indebted to PDP and the best way to continue to pay the debt is to protect PDP,” Gulak stated.

It will be reminded, that Atiku and seven aggrieved governors left the Eagles Square venue of the 2013 Special National Convention of the party on Saturday to form a parallel exco for the ”new PDP.”
