The Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has welcomed the return of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to the party.
In a text message he sent to the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday, the party boss said Atiku is welcomed to the party he helped to found, stating that he was expecting many more former PDP members who defected to other political parties to return home.
“We have been expecting it and are expecting many more people to follow. The PDP welcomes him and will gladly welcome others,” Makarfi said.
The former Vice President announced his return to the PDP on Sunday, citing the disappointment which he said the All Progressive Congress (APC) had become.
