Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for 2023, claims that his party is the mother of all other political parties in Nigeria, including the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former Vice President went on to urge PDP members to be loyal to the party.
According to Channels Television, Atiku made the plea during a news conference on Thursday to address the outcome of the Presidential Election Tribunal, which threw out his suit contesting President Bola Tinubu’s victory.
Despite the outcome, Atiku stated that he is still holding firm and that party members have no need to despair.
“Let me finally give some of our party’s delusional or disappointed members hope. I am one of the founding members of this party, and I am still going strong. This party gives rise to every other party in this country today. Your mother is the PDP, regardless of whether you are APC or APM.
“What matters most to us is that we remain loyal and faithful members of this historic party. This is the only party that has been in existence from Nigeria’s inception.
“We have a track record to defend, promote, and foster. You may be fathers now, but you will always be proud of your grandfather and great-grandfather. Why would you not want to be proud to be a PDP member? There’s no cause at all.
“I, therefore, want to urge our memes to remain loyal and dedicated in order to foster national unity and cohesion,” Atiku added.
