ATIKU DECAMPS FROM APC

Read statement of resignation below:

Statement of resignation of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar (Waziri Adamawa) Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007 from the All Progressives Congress

On the 19th of December, 2013, I received members of the All Progressives Congress at my house in Abuja. They had come to appeal to me to join their party after my party, the Peoples Democratic Party, had become factionalized as a result of the special convention of August 31, 2013.

The fractionalization of the Peoples Democratic Party on August 31, 2013 had left me in a situation where I was, with several other loyal party members, in limbo, not knowing which of the parallel executives of the party was the legitimate leadership.

It was under this cloud that members of the APC made the appeal to me to join their party, with the promise that the injustices and failure to abide by its own constitution which had dogged the then PDP, would not be replicated in the APC and with the assurance that the vision other founding fathers and I had for the PDP could be actualized through the All Progressives Congress.

It was on the basis of this invitation and the assurances made to me that I, being party-less at that time, due to the fractionalization of my party, accepted on February 2, 2014, the hand of fellowship given to me by the All Progressives Congress.

On that day, I said "it is the struggle for democracy and constitutionalism and service to my country and my people that are driving my choice and my decision" to accept the invitation to join the All Progressives Congress.

Like you, I said that because I believed that we had finally seen the beginnings of the rebirth of the new Nigeria of our dreams which would work for all of us, old and young.

However, events of the intervening years have shown that like any other human and like many other Nigerians, I was fallible.

While other parties have purged themselves of the arbitrariness and unconstitutionality that led to fractionalization, the All Progressives Congress has adopted those same practices and even gone beyond them to institute a regime of a draconian clampdown on all forms of democracy within the party and the government it produced.

Only last year, a governor produced by the party wrote a secret memorandum to the president which ended up being leaked. In that memo, he admitted that the All Progressives Congress had "not only failed to manage expectations of a populace that expected overnight ‘change’ but has failed to deliver even mundane matters of governance".

Of the party itself, that same governor said "Mr. President, Sir Your relationship with the national leadership of the party, both the formal (NWC) and informal (Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso), and former Governors of ANPP, PDP (that joined us) and ACN, is perceived by most observers to be at best frosty. Many of them are aggrieved due to what they consider total absence of consultations with them on your part and those you have assigned such duties."

Since that memorandum was written up until today, nothing has been done to reverse the treatment meted out to those of us invited to join the All Progressives Congress on the strength of a promise that has proven to be false. If anything, those behaviours have actually worsened.

But more importantly, the party we put in place has failed and continues to fail our people, especially our young people. How can we have a federal cabinet without even one single youth.

A party that does not take the youth into account is a dying party. The future belongs to young people.

I admit that I and others who accepted the invitation to join the APC were eager to make positive changes for our country that we fell for a mirage. Can you blame us for wanting to put a speedy end to the sufferings of the masses of our people?

Be that as it may be, after due consultation with my God, my family, my supporters and the Nigerian people whom I meet in all walks of life, I, Atiku Abubakar, Waziri Adamawa, hereby tender my resignation from the All Progressives Congress while I take time to ponder my future.

May God bless you and may God bless Nigeria.

Ok nah, na only una know wetin una dey do

He can't win. He is going back to apc after 2019. He is a political prostittute

The only mistake Atiku made in this life was when he had the governors at his disposal prior to 2003 election, he allowed Obasanjo to go for his second term after the latter begged him. I wish Atiku success

Good riddance! I wish him the best as he seeks to contest the 2019 presidential election on the PDP platform though.

However, Atiku's unelectability is still very much around to plague him. The baggage of corruption on his neck is too heavy to be ignored. 2019 will be a walk over for Buhari if PDP presents Atiku.

Atiku the political prostitute

way up

No principles. Just jumping up and down.

A smart politician needs to to win party politics and internal democracy first of. This is what Nigerian politicians don't do.

No political ideology, even the parties self, they don't have any identity except corruption which is a common denominator among all of them.

Imagine a Democrat crossing carpet to the Republican party... That is clearly a technical knockout on his/her political ambition.

Stay where you are, fight where you are and blossom where you are.

Best wishes for the future!

Can't believe I just typed that.

Restructuring... or Nigeria Kpeme.

As expected. Im not surprised though. undecided

He has all the money but he wants more.......... of what? P O W E R

Nothing will ever be enough for a man to whom enough is too little

Yeye

hopes for candidacy come 2019 lost,no juicy slots for him...I feel the pain.

If he likes,let him jump or decamp to mars,he will never rule nigeria.up buhari and apc till 2017.

Political prostitute with no concrete believe in any political ideology.How I wish there is a law banning all forms of political cross carpeting.

Atiku will trash Bubu in the north. With the VP from the SE(block votes), it will be a walk in the park as the SS(block votes) and NC(block votes) will vote massively for Atiku presidency than Buhari presidency. SW will be divided alongside PDP/APC/AD thereby making it impossible for APC to win handsomely in the region.

At the end Atiku will score the highest votes across Nigeria to send the incompetent Buhari back to Daura.

I prefer to vote for a corrupt Atiku than a holy Buhari

this man is politically unstable

we don't have politicians in Nigeria but opportunists!

Atiku is a definition of the modern day political prostitute. He makes "cross-carpeting" seem so easy. I doubt any political party (and by extension, the electorates) would take him seriously. It makes him appear so desperate and that's a massive turn-off for me.

No wonder Obasanjo allegedly said "I don't know who will become President but I know who will not become President", taking a jibe at Atiku.

Not unexpected. APC wouldn't have given him the ticket.

Atiku news don crash nairaland oooo. Heeheehehehe ......

This man and infeanyi uba should marry themselves being a political prostitutes. They want to rule by force. Atiku will always be a learner in politics. Because he thought now that PDP zone the party presidential slot to north, he can easily get that, no way. Fayose and co are waiting for him. He will never get that ticket under PDP, you can quote me anywhere. And if he doesnt get it, he can never rule this country again. Politics is a very dirty game. people that are praising him to join PDP now will work against him when the primaries start. They are only interested in his money, nothing else. You cant leave a party many years ago, work towards its downfall, and now, you think you can come back and win its presidential ticket again less than 2 years to go? where do you want to push the patriots of the party? He never chin chum chin... .
Samee thing awaits uba, obiano will surprise him silly. Its a matter of time.

To where

I ain't surprised.

Atiku

we know ooooooooooooooo



y did it take him this time?


Power hungry and political party LovePeddler
