PDP Crisis is Democracy at Play, Says Campaign Spokesman
By Ozumi Abdul
The spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Charles Aniagwu, has said that the wrangling within the party is a characteristic of democratic governance.
Aniagwu, who is the Delta Commissioner for Information, stated this while answering questions on a television event monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria in Asaba, Delta State capital.
He said the PDP as a national party was committed to the ideals of freedom of speech and expression as guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.
He added that individuals in the party were exercising their democratic rights and helping to widen the democratic space.

“Atiku is a man of character who keeps his words. If he says, look we are going to run a government that will rescue Nigeria, he knows that for him to do that, every segment of the society must be carried along, and that includes our brothers and sisters in the South-West.
“What Atiku wants is to have a very peaceful government so that at the end of the day he is able to unite the country, and because he believes that for him to be able to drive the economic policies, he needs to first of all bring everybody on board.
“To unite the country, he is trying to bring individuals who have the ability; whether they are in the diaspora or other political parties, once you have got the quality to be effective, he brings you in.
“What is happening within the PDP is democracy at play, and even in the midst of the disagreements, the PDP is still far ahead of any other political party,” he said.
