Mohammed
had been less visible during the CPC-APC merger talks but he has
resurfaced lately and is seen moving round the country in the company of
his late father’s Chief Security Officer Major Hamza Al-Mustapha.
They
were in the Imo state capital weekend where, together with three
regional irredentists, they try to push for the unity of youths in the
country.
While
speaking at PDP meeting in Abuja on September 16, 2013, Mohammed said
he had consulted widely with his supporters and other members of the
party before taking the decision to return to the PDP saying from what
he has gleaned the PDP is the right party for him in the current
dispensation.
He
described the PDP as the only party in Nigeria that accommodates all
shades of people from across religious and ethnic divides saying it is
the true party for Nigerians.
“In
my initial sojourn as a politician I joined the PDP first in year 2010
and we did the best we could at that particular time. I joined when
Chief (Vincent) Ogbulafor was the chairman and shortly after he was
replaced by Chief Nwodo. Sometime in 2010, we decided to change our
political affiliation to another party, we had a little problem at that
time which in summary, I would say is due to lack of internal democracy
at that particular point in time,” he said.
Abacha
who assured that he will discuss other issues concerning his membership
of the party in subsequent meetings said the issue of waiver and
consultations with the governor of his state Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso would
come later.
He
however acknowledged that Kwanwaso is the leader of the PDP in the
state stressing that he is not in PDP to wrest power from the governor
as he said only God gives power.
Abacha
who was escorted to the PDP national secretariat by throngs of his
supporters held a closed door meeting with the members of the National
Working committee of the party including the deputy national chairman;
Uche Secondus before confirming his return to the party.
Reacting
to the defection of Abacha to PDP, chairman of the defunct Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC), in Kano state, Dr. Mohammed Mahmood Ababakar
yesterday said Abacha has not been active in the party.
“Well,
he came from PDP to our party CPC, now APC and he has returned to where
he came from. In politics, people will pursue interest where it pleases
them. Some people will stay and stick to a party come rain, come sun
and others will leave in pursuance of their personal interest,” he said.
