Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, has described the recent wave of
defections from the party as acts driven by greed and selfish interest.
According to him, the defections would not deter the PDP
from its resolve to rebuild the country, stressing that the political struggle
ahead is no longer between the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and other
parties, but between the APC and the Nigerian people.
“As we journey towards 2027, it’s not about PDP and APC
anymore, it’s now APC against Nigerians,” Abdullahi declared.
He spoke on Wednesday while fielding questions Arise
Television’s News programme.
Abdullahi maintained that there was no justifiable reason
for governors elected on the PDP platform to abandon the party, particularly
those nearing the end of their tenures.
The PDP spokesperson lamented the state of the nation under
the APC administration, saying Nigerians have suffered greatly over the past
decade, especially in the last two years.
He said, “It’s nothing other than greed, avarice, and
selfishness on the part of those leaving because, to the best of my knowledge
and that of Nigerians, you cannot find a compelling reason that would warrant a
governor completing his second term, for example in Bayelsa, to want to leave
the party.
“To the best of the PDP, it is good riddance to bad rubbish.
If only we can weed out these elements before our convention next month, we
will emerge more cohesive and better prepared to retrieve this country from
what we consider an army of occupation masquerading as a democratic
government”.
