Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, today said he was returning to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of the need to steer the nation off “bloody inter-communal and ethnic violence, deepening economic crisis, collapse of our infrastructure and the risk of the unravelling of the amnesty in the Niger Delta.”
Abubakar spoke at a press conference in Abuja to announce his formal return to the PDP of which he is a founding member.
