Aminu Tambuwal, the former governor of Sokoto State, stated that no politician with a conscience would align themselves with the All Progressives Congress (APC) given the current economic challenges in the country.
Tambuwal made these remarks in response to the recent trend of PDP members defecting to the ruling party, citing “stomach infrastructure” as the motivation behind these moves rather than the welfare of the people.
He said, “People leave parties for different reasons, but what I have been observing in recent times are defections not based on the interest of the people but on stomach infrastructure.”
Tambuwal, who represents Sokoto South Senatorial District in the Senate, questioned the rationale behind the defections, stating that no politician with a conscience would align with the APC, considering its policies and the economic hardship faced by Nigerians.
“I believe no one with a conscience will join the APC. With the current policies being driven by the APC government, the economic doldrums it has plunged Nigerians into, the hardship across the country, and the dismal performance of Tinubu’s administration, there is nothing attractive beyond stomach infrastructure.
“Defections based on stomach infrastructure are not worrisome. But all of us who believe in this country and in serving the people must unite and work towards ensuring that by 2027, we vote out this administration that lacks focus, compassion, and direction,” he added.
Tambuwal encouraged members of the PDP and all Nigerians to unite and focus on defeating the APC in the upcoming 2023 elections.
