25th Anniversary: PDP Will Bounce Back -Atiku

Former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will bounce back to give Nigerians a responsive government.
Abubakar said this in a statement by his Media Office in Abuja on Friday.
“PDP is the progenitor of our contemporary democracy and shall ensure that democracy did not only survive in Nigeria, but that the country thrives through it.
“Being one of the founding fathers of our great party, the PDP, I take great pride in having participated in the process of nurturing the party from infancy to a deliberate agency of socio-political and economic development in Nigeria.
“In the 16 years that the PDP was at the helm of affairs in our country, the party offered quality leadership through various administrations and the achievements recorded in those 16 years have remained the benchmark for positive growth in our economy and other critical areas of our national life.
Deconstruction of military

He said the PDP took leading role in the deconstruction of military rule in Nigeria, and the peculiarities of contemporary experiences both within Nigeria and other countries in Africa.

He called on the PDP to once again, rise to the occasion by cancelling the economic hardship and other structural deficiencies that directly bear negatively on the people.

He expressed confidence that the PDP would bounce back to give Nigerians a responsive government.
