The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Abdullahi Jalo has said the new Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the newly emerged Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara are highly welcomed to PDP. According to Jalo PDP is a party which accommodates all regardless where the person in question is coming from. He also said in Saraki’s case, it will not be new because Saraki was a PDP member.
“Any politician is entitled to join any political party that he so desires to join. The PDP is for everyone. We don’t quarrel with anybody. We are still soliciting for more acceptability. The PDP is open to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (former Governor of Lagos State and national leader, APC); Bisi Akande (former Governor of Osun State and ex-National Chairman, APC, Chief) and any other persons in the ruling APC. “The PDP is large enough to accommodate many people of diverse backgrounds. That is why we remain the largest party in Africa. We are never going to stop anybody from leaving or victimise them after they have left. The former Speaker, House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal (now Governor of Sokoto State) left and the party did not sanction him, unlike the APC that is threatening Saraki with sanctions,” Jalo said.
