Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, yesterday described the complete return to the party by members of Adamwa state House of Assembly as “a landmark political development” for the party in the state.
In a statement he issued in Abuja, Tukur expressed delight at the political development adding that “this action has concretised and effectively made Adamawa a PDP state.”
He said: “As an elder statesman, and one of the founding fathers of the Party who hails also from Adamawa, I am confident that the PDP will certainly take-over the governance of Adamawa state in 2015.”
He called on some members of the Party who he said were deceived into joining the opposition party in the state to now read the handwriting on the wall and quickly return to their rightful party, the PDP.
Tukur assured the legislators that all of them were equal owners and members of the party as “every person will be given his own political right and recognition irrespective of events of the past.”
He welcomed all of them back to the party for the total return and re-affirmation and prayed that Nigerians in other states who were deceived into joining the APC “will soon retrace their steps and return completely to the PDP.”
