PDP Receding; Must Regain Its Eminent Place In Politics – Atiku

A former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) needs to regain its “eminent position” in politics.

The PDP presidential candidate spoke on Thursday at an event organised for the party’s governors-elect and outgoing governors in Abuja.

Abubakar expressed worries that the PDP which was a dominant political party is “receding”.

“We have a number of challenges. We started as a dominant political party in 1999 and since then have been receding,” he said.

“I think it is time for us to take stock and find out why we are receding and how can we make sure that our eminent position as the leading political party in this country, as the oldest political party in this country, we regain our position.

“This is a very important challenge which I think requires a whole day seminar for us as a party to ensure that we regain our eminent position in the politics of this country and the whole of Africa.”

Abubakar congratulated the PDP governors-elect and asked them to be united and loyal to the party.
