Doyin Okupe, a former aide to the
immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday berated activist lawyer,
Femi Falana for saying the gale of defections that hit the All Progressives
Congress, APC, was unconstitutional.
Falana had said the defection of
the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and others who defected from the APC to the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the past few weeks was unconstitutional.
Recall that lawmakers in the
National Assembly had about a week ago defected from the ruling APC.
On Tuesday, Saraki officially
dumped the ruling APC and joined the opposition PDP.
While Nigerians were still trying
to savour the news of Saraki’s defection, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal
also officially dumped APC for PDP.
But Falana said the Nigerian
constitution was against such defection.
However, Okupe has rubbished
Falana’s position.
He described Falana’s stance on
the defection as ‘double speaking,’ placing side by side his comment on the
same matter in 2014 and his current position.
In a tweet, Okupe wrote:
“Falana’s Double Speak on Defections.
“2014: It is lawful by
constitutional provision of freedom of association.The choice is the beauty of
Democracy. 2018: It is unconditional. HABA!!!”
