Atiku accuses PDP of leading Nigeria to a sorry state.

 former Vice Predsident Atiku
Abubakar who recently made headlines by
defecting to the All Progressives Congress
alleged that leaders of the Peoples Democratic
Party are the ones responsible for the "sorry state" of Nigeria. Mr. Abubakar suggested that, rather than resorting
to "childish" behaviour, the PDP should instead focus on the real state of things in Nigeria. In a statement issued by his media office, Mr.
Abubakar urged the PDP to stop searching for
scapegoats among members of the opposition. He maintained that as a former vice president of
Nigeria and a person who contributed a lot to the
formation of the PDP, he deserves respect from the
PDP leaders. However, he noted, they seem to be
treating his case with "selective memory". "The personal insults in the PDP statement
succeeded in doing just one thing, which is to depict
its managers as childish, petulant, and, above all
else, incompetent," the statement by Atiku read. "They [the PDP] have lost their way, and their refusal to recognise the error of their ways has
prompted the shepherds to - reluctantly - move on
for the nation's sake, to build a better future for the
country's teeming population." "Since almost all of us - the founding members of
the PDP - have been hounded out of the party
because we allegedly have one aspiration or the
other, people who supported military rule or did not
even know what was going on, are now the masters
of PDP, and present themselves as the custodians of the nation's future. "But I challenge anyone of them to show their
contribution except looting the Nigerian treasury," Atiku urged. "If I and other patriots working in tandem with the
National Assembly did not work together to retain
term limits in the constitution, none of those holding
power today would not have been there from local,
state or federal governments."
