Also speaking, former national chairman of the PDP now chieftain of the APC, Chief Audu Ogbe, welcome N’Abba, asking him to prevail other of his colleagues to join APC.
According to him, APC was a party for all Nigerians.
“I am glad that Ghali Na’Abba is back. I happened to be chairman when
the impeachment saga took place and I knew how strong Ghali was, insisting that
the right thing must be done. For a number of reasons such as national survival
and cohesion, I tried to persuade him not to go ahead with it and he listened.
It was not because the grounds on which the impeachment was based were wrong
but because we advanced other overriding national considerations. Welcome to
this party, Ghali Na’Abba and all of you out there who are still preparing to
join this party.
“Ghali, please inform your former colleagues in the house that this is
the place to be. This is a place for their ideals. This is the place for their
dreams. This is the place for those who are worried about tomorrow, for the
young who cannot find a flat to live in, young men who cannot marry because
they don’t have money, young women you can’t marry because the young men are
running away”, he said.
Similarly, another chieftain of the party, Prince Tony Momoh while
welcoming N’Abba boasted that APC was now the largest party in Africa.
“We are a very big party, an opposition party in government and all that
is happening today shows that a party that is resisting change is the part in
opposition. It is the PDP that is resisting change.
“I welcome our brother, friend for coming into a party that cannot even
stop change. If APC today says no change, they will be stoned. That is to tell
you that the agitation for change is mass agitation of the Nigerian people and
APC is only a representative of that war cry “change”, he said.
The event attracted several members of the party which included the
Deputy National Chairman, (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu, Deputy National
Chairman (South), Engr. Segun Oni, National Vice Chairman (North East), Engr.
David Lawal, National Auditor, Chief George Moghalu, former National Chairman
