Aminu Tambuwal, the former governor of Sokoto State, has voiced his displeasure with the current influx of PDP members defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Given the state of the nation’s economy, Tambuwal asserts that no moral politician will join the APC.
Shortly after the PDP’s North-West Zonal conference in Kaduna on Saturday, Tambuwal told journalists that the defections were due to “stomach infrastructure” rather than public interest.
In light of the APC’s policies and the financial struggles that Nigerians confront, Tambuwal, the senatorial representative for Sokoto South Senatorial District, questioned the reasons for the defections, saying that no moral politician would support the party.
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.”
“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.
The senator urged PDP members and other Nigerians to unite and work towards defeating the APC in 2027.
Meanwhile, the North-West PDP has vowed to unseat the APC in the next election.
According to a communiqué read by the North-West Zonal Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bello Gwarzo, the party resolved to address all conflicts at the national level swiftly.
