“Politics is a dynamic business, PDP is coming back” – Jonathan, Atiku discuss 2019 in Bayelsa

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar paid a visit to former President Goodluck Jonathan in Otuoke, Bayelsa on Wednesday.

Atiku is doing rounds for his 2019 presidential ambition and his discussion with Jonathan centered on how opposition party PDP can regain power.

He expressed optimism that no other party that has the structure and strength like the PDP, saying “It is actually the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that has the strength and structure to get back to Aso Rock,” he said, adding that “without PDP, APC should not have been in Aso Rock.”

Jonathan, booted out in 2015, said the party is ready to regain its ruling status.

“I believe PDP is coming back and getting stronger,” he said.

“Yes, we had some issues in 2015. But as you know politics is a very dynamic business. Even though we are in the opposition with fewer governors, PDP is still the strongest and largest party.”

Atiku lamented the current situation in the country, saying it was enough reason for Nigerians to vote the ruling party out.

“Have we ever had this rate of unemployment and poverty in Nigeria? Have we ever had five sets of exchange rate before in this country? Have we ever had so much insecurity like this before? No! Have we ever been this divided before in this country? No!” he said.
