“Prepare your handover now!” PDP warns APC

Senator Iyorchia Ayu, National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked the APC-led government to start preparing its handover notes.

Ayu stated this in his inaugural speech at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja, during the inauguration of the newly elected national officers of the PDP today December 10.

The PDP chairman said the party is coming back in 2023 to “pull back Nigeria from the brink.”

”A PDP administration will change the narrative. We will unite the people. We will deepen the content of our democracy. We will rebuild our collapsed economy. We will make Nigerians the focus of development. We will expand our international vision beyond Niger Republic. We will check the rampaging insecurity. We will restore Nigeria’s lost glory. And we will reclaim our dignity, destiny and pride as the Giant of Africa.

To the APC, we, once again, renew our quit notice on you. Begin to prepare your handover notes.

To Africa and the international community – we know you are worried about Nigeria. But we assure you that PDP will pull back Nigeria from the brink. PDP will not allow Nigeria to fulfil those doomsday predictions.” he said.

Ayu was head of the campaign to elect Vice President Atiku Abubakar as president on the AC platform in April 2007. In February 2007, Ayu was arrested and later arraigned by a Federal court on charges of terrorism. He was later released on bail. In March 2007, he spoke out against the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to include Atiku’s name on the list of candidates.
