FORMER Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed reports that he has concluded plans to dump All Progressives Congress, APC, for Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, noting that APC was his final bus stop.

Reacting to claims that he would soon return to PDP, Atiku in a statement described the description of him as a core PDP person as laughable.

His words: “You know, it is funny how some people put politics and vacation in the same sentence. Let me assure you: politics is serious business, it is hard work, and for me at least, it is more than a full time job.

“I really do not know how you can seriously think of taking a vacation, in a country like ours, with the politics we have.

“As a patriot and democrat, I am always seeking what is best for Nigeria. I did that when we built the great assemblage of the finest men and women under the umbrella of PDP to get rid of the generals.

“I did that when I left and returned to PDP, and I did that when I helped to turn APC into a serious opposition party.

“When I toured our country and listened to the hopes, fears and expectations of Nigerians from all walks of life, I said APC is the final bus stop, and that it is the end of the line.”
