Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, says the PDP is the mother party of all others in the country.
While reacting to the tribunal judgement on Thursday, Atiku noted that the PDP birthed all political parties in Nigeria.
He urged PDP members to remain resilient, loyal and unwavering in their support of the party, while reminding the unpatriotic members and other parties that PDP birthed them.
“Let me finally give hope to some of the delusional or disappointed members of our party. I am one of the foundational members of this party, and I’m still strong,” Atiku said.
“This party [PDP] gave birth to any other party you can think of in this country today. Whether you are APC, or APM—whatever you call yourself—your mother is the PDP.
“What is most important for us is to make sure we remain loyal and faithful members of this historic party. This is the only party since the creation of Nigeria that is as old as it is today.
“We have a record to protect, promote, and foster. You may be fathers today, but you will always be proud of your grandfather, not to mention your great-grandfather. Why will you not want to be proud to be a member of the PDP? There’s absolutely no reason.
“I, therefore, want to urge our memes to remain loyal and dedicated and foster national unity and cohesion,” he added.
