Former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar has stated that the crisis management process in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is more efficient than the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was stated on Saturday by Atiku Abubakar before the national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP in Abuja.
The former presidential candidate of the PDP, who was commenting on the crisis in the opposition party, said the PDP has always overcome its challenges because the party has the “most competent” individuals.
“Don’t be surprised that we always try to overcome our internal crisis because if you look at PDP, it has the most experienced people in this country. Whether in the executive wing, whether in the legislature, whether in party administration, we have the most experienced and competent individuals in this party,” he said.
“Therefore, PDP’s internal crisis management is far efficient and far better than APC and even the APC government itself.
“I want to use this opportunity to commend and thank everybody who has been involved in trying to resolve the recent crisis, and Nigerians should no longer be in doubt of our sense of patriotism and our sense of commitment to get this country moving again.
“We have been taken aback by the APC government, and we have shown to Nigerians that when we are trusted again, we will do even better than we have done before.”
Also speaking, Enyinnaya Abaribe, senate minority leader, said PDP lawmakers will kick against any legislation that seeks to stifle the press.
The lawmaker, who was speaking on the recent query issued to Channels TV by the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), expressed optimism that PDP will return to power in 2023.
