Former Vice President, Mr Atiku Abubakar, has been commended for his decision to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) in search of better party with democratic ideals is most commendable.
Democracy Coalition, while reacting to the development, disclosed that it had longed passed its “verdict on APC as a deceptive party devoid of any democratic credential.”
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mr Michael Williams, Democracy Coalition thanked “God that Alhaji Atiku has finally seen the deception in APC and have summoned the courage to quit because when the falcon can no longer hid the falconer, the best option is to quit.”
“By that resignation, Alhaji Atiku has once again proved to the world that he is not only a bulwark of democracy, but a defender of democracy at great personal risks.
“As stated earlier, we as a coalition of true democrats will move along with a democratic icon in the person of Atiku to any party with democratic appeals ahead of 2019.
“However, we are wishing our adopted Presidential candidate for 2019 a happy birthday anniversary as he clocks 71 on November 25,” the group said in the statement made available to Business Post on Friday.
