APC receives Atiku’s resignation letter

The Adamawa chapter of All Progressives Congress has confirmed the receipt of the resignation letter of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

The State Secretary of APC, Saidu Nera, confirmed the development on Sunday to News Agency of Nigeria in Yola.

Nera said he had yet to get the letter, but the party officials of Jada 1 Ward in Jada Local Government Area where Atiku registered had told him that they had received the letter.

Meanwhile, the former vice president, who, on Friday, announced his decision to leave APC, has arrived in Yola where he is now engaged in a series of meetings with Peoples Democratic Party officials at all levels who keep trooping to his house to woo him back into the party.

NAN reports that the former vice president has, so far, met with Adamawa PDP executives at all levels, as well as state chairmen from the six states that constituted North East, including the National Vice chairman North East of the party.

Commenting on the meeting between Atiku and the state executives of PDP, the State Secretary of PDP, Abdulllahi Prambe, said the meeting was ‘fruitful.’

“Our meeting with him has been fruitful and from his body language, he will soon return to PDP,” Prambe said.

Prambe said that it would be a big boost to the party at the state and national levels when Atiku finally returns.

“With Atiku, the party will carry more weight and more people will also troop in,” Prambe said.

When contacted on the development, Atiku’s spokesman, Mr. Paul Ibe, declined to comment.

Why is Christmas Day on the 25th December?

Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of of Jesus Christ , who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the only one that was allowed to take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at Midnight! So we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas. Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world, whether they are Christians or not.
