Senate President Godswill Akpabio has cautioned politicians
against joining the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, declaring that no sane
person would defect to the opposition party.
He made the remark during the Senate’s screening of Joash
Amupitan as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
His comment followed an exchange with the Senator
representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, who had observed that nobody
contested the results of the last presidential election conducted in Ghana.
In response, Akpabio noted that former President Goodluck
Jonathan also did not challenge the outcome of the 2015 presidential election
conducted by INEC, adding that the Commission had continued to improve over the
years.
However, Senator Dickson reminded Akpabio that the 2015
election was held under a PDP-led administration.
Reacting further, Akpabio said, “At that time, PDP was not
torn to shreds, but there is no human being that is sane today that can even
join such a platform.”
