I'm In APC To Stay - Atiku
Former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives
Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar has said that his commitment to the APC and the
success of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari and other
candidates of the party in the 2015 general elections is unwavering and never
been up for bargaining.
The former Vice President made the assertion against the backdrop of reports
in a section of the media of his purported return to the fold of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
"I remain irrevocably committed to the APC, as I promised in my concession
speech at the conclusion of our party's presidential primaries, and have been
working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the victory of General
Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates of our great party at the general
elections," the former Vice President is quoted to have said.
A statement by the Atiku Media Office in Abuja on Tuesday said that reports of
the Turaki Adamawa's purported return to the PDP or any other party is the
handiwork of mischief makers focused on pitching the former Vice President
against other leaders of the opposition party.
Atiku Abubakar said that for the avoidance of doubt he is unequivocally
committed to the unity of APC and that it will take more than the antics of
mischief makers to break that bond.
Atiku Abubakar noted that his return from Adamawa, where he convened a
stakeholders' meeting and reconciled disagreeing camps within the party,
towards ensuring victory for the APC bears eloquent testimony of this
commitment.
The statement reminded that the former Vice President currently supports the
financial operations of the APC in many states, in most cases as a sole
financier.
"I have backed my words and commitment with my resources to ensure that I
bring my influence and support to bear on our party's march to victory at all
levels in the general election. That should be enough to shut up mischief
makers bent on derailing the APC's success at the March 28 and April
elections," he said.
The Atiku Media Office observed that as one of Nigeria's astute politicians
and businessmen, there may be overtures from across political divides to the
former Vice President, but restated that Atiku Abubakar has publicly stated
his commitment to the APC and has privately rebuffed the approaches from all
quarters.
