A former governorship aspirant in
Delta State on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Sunny Onuesoke,
yesterday said the defection of 14 Senators and 37 House of Representatives
members was a replay of what happened in 2014 during former President, Goodluck
Jonathan’s government.
He noted that it was the same
lawmakers that ganged up against Jonathan, adding that it was good for
Nigeria’s democracy.
In a statement he personally
signed and made available to reporters, the Delta born politician said, “What
played out in the National Assembly on Tuesday did not come to me as a surprise
because I have 21 national publications to what happened on Tuesday.
“In my presentation in January, I
said PDP will become the majority party in the National Assembly before the
primaries.
“What is playing out is a replay
of 2014 by same elites and the ruling class then against ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan because the same people who decamped on Tuesday where
same persons who did it in 2014.
“In the true sense of it,
democracy is playing out for the fact that you are entitled to any party you
want to decamp to and become a member of such party. The leadership of APC deserves
what is coming to it today.”
Speaking on the police siege on
Dr Bukola Saraki and Dr Ike Ekweremadu’s residences, he added, “The Police
laying siege to the official residences of the Senate President and his deputy
on Tuesday could be termed rascality of the highest order by the executive.”
