By Bode Olagoke Abuja

A group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National PDP Professionals and Business Group (NPPBG), has called on the leadership of the party to “urgently put in motion activities to lure former members, especially former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, back to the party.” It made the call shortly after its National Executive Council meeting in Abuja yesterday, acknowledging that most of the members who left had sincere grievances against the party, however, resolved to pursue the immediate return of especially all “founding fathers of our great party the PDP back Home.”

A senior member of the group, Hon. Odaudun Abrahams, said the group “is appealing, particularly, to former Vice President, Atiku Abubarkar, to return home as the aspirations of Nigerians to do away with this group of Aggrieved Politicians Congress (APC) will be greatly enhanced by his return to the PDP.” He said: “We are also calling on other founding fathers and leaders like Chief Barnabas Gemade, Alhaji Danjuma Goje, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, the peoples General, Col. Suleiman Babanawa, Air Marshal Atawodi, Dr. Philip Salawu, Senator George Akume, Senator Ken Nnamani, Charles Soludo, Alh Jibrin Echocho, Alhaji Ibrahim Linco Ocheje, Ambassador Isaac Onuh, Chief Shola Akamode DCP Aurelius Adejo (retd) to mentioning, but a few to please as a matter of urgency return home as they sincerely have no stake and are being under-utilised where they currently are.”
