Some prominent chieftains of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have stated categorically that they are not returning to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki, and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso made this known on Monday.
The PDP stalwarts are reacting to a statement by APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena on Sunday after former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and Senator Barnabas Gemade returned to the ruling party.
Nabena noted that the doors of the ruling party were open to receive all former members who left the party and are willing to stage a comeback.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Paul Ibe, media aide to Atiku, said APC is dreaming if they think the former vice president will return to its fold. He described the APC as a sinking ship that is on a downward journey and not attractive to anybody.
“It is not true. His Excellency Atiku Abubakar will not return to a sinking ship. All of these shenanigans are to distract Nigerians from its (APC-led government) monumental failures at governance that has left our people poorer to the extent that we are now the poverty capital of the world,” he said.
“Its leadership of the last five years has left our country more insecure and more divided than at any other time. Its policies have made more people jobless and compromised our sovereignty. “Going back to the APC is like willingly opting to go to hell,” he added.
Also speaking, an aide of Saraki, said his principal has been abroad with his family and reports linking him with a possible return to the APC is nothing but lies.
“They want to divert people from their party crises and the failure of the Buhari-led administration, hence the diversionary tactics. Dogara has a unique problem with his governor. There is no plan between oga and the former speaker on this defection. The PDP is better than APC. APC is not attractive to anybody now,” he said.
The spokesman of Kwankwaso, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, also said no right-thinking politician will join the APC that is on the verge of disintegration.
“To the best of my knowledge, I’m not aware that they have consulted His Excellency, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Engineer Kwankwaso is a bonafide member of the PDP. More so, how do you expect anybody in his right senses to join APC at this material time?
“APC is on its downward journey, the party is at the state of disintegration, it is suffering from self-inflicted injury and there is nothing they can do now to rectify it. They have destroyed everything and compounded our security problems.
Abdussalam also accused the APC of making Nigerians suffer since it took over power about five years ago.

They are the same people. It is immaturity of Nigerians political class to be jumping from one party for another and coming back , that shows that there is no manifesto in there mind for the people. They are after their pocket. Stealing stealing stealing that is what they aim at.

Most of them(PDP bigwigs)if not all are untrusted,because they are just rulers not leaders,even in 2015 general election in which PMB came into power they didn’t supported him for the sake of God rather they feared imprisonment for what they had looted in their 16yrs in power.
UP BUHARI.
Your so called Buhari is more or less like a blind driver, a blind driver, carrying blind people on board, in the darkest part of the night , in a bus without the least bit of light, in an open and across vast dark wilderness leading to an unknown dark destination .
