The All Progressives Congress (APC), says the former Governor of Sokoto state, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal lacks the moral rights to challenge the intentions of politicians who have defected from a crisis-ridden PDP to the ruling party.
TheHintsNews reports that the former governor recently asserted that no politician with conscience would join the APC.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka in a statement issued Sunday said Tambuwal’s comment aptly described him as a serial defector consider his antecedents.
The spokesperson stressed that contrary to Tambuwal’s view, members of the PDP are joining APC to identify with President Bola Tinubu’s bold economic reform agenda in the face of growing and undeniable positive indications of a resurgent Nigeria.
He added that many of the defectors have offered this as the raison for their defection, aside the fact that the PDP is in a state of bedlam, and is now an unrecognizable shadow of its old self.
Morka noted: “There remains profound wisdom in the saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. That wisdom has clearly eluded Tambuwal, a notorious and vainglorious party defector.
“His comments more aptly characterised his own convoluted record of defections from the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) to the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) in 2007 and back to ANPP and then off to the PDP, and decamping in 2014 to APC and finally crawling back to PDP, ignominiously, in 2018.
“By his assertions, Tambuwal’s itinerant defections were in chase of “stomach infrastructure”, purely self-serving and without any conscience.
“A wandering politician like Tambuwal lacks the moral turpitude to comment on the intentions of politicians who have defected from a crisis-ridden PDP to our great party.”
