General Buhari’s Lawyer Decamps to PDP, Says APC Is A Sinking Titanic by oluvick(m): 1:30pm On Jan 31, 2015
Mike Ahamba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN)
and lawyer to the All progressives Congress
(APC) presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari has decamped from the
opposition party to the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).

His official statement of defection was made
public on Wednesday, January 28, 2015.

Ahamba revealed that hen decided to dump the
APC because the party was bedeviled with much
dishonesty and absence of transparency, further
availing that the sitting governors who joined the
party (APC) were invited over for the sole aim of
siphoning their state funds for the electioneering
campaigns.

Read the full text of Ahamba’s statement below:

My brothers, sisters, friends and supporters, I
salute you.

It is a fact now self-evident that I am involved in
a political re-alignment and movement that has
necessarily resulted in my return to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) of which I was a pioneer
member, having abandoned the sinking APC
political ship which has proved soon to be a
political ‘Titanic’. The merger of three national
political parties, a first in the history of Nigeria,
had been full of hope with promises of change.
But the center could not hold, things have fallen
apart, and no one in the party is at ease any
longer?

Brethren, I have bailed out of that ship because I
find myself unable to continue with membership
of a party which

(a) places preferred runners in a 100 metres race
at the sixtieth metre point in a supposed
democratic setting leaving others at the starting
blocks,

(b) has not published its manifesto after more
than eight (cool months of existence, thereby
keeping its membership and the polity in a
blindfold as to its true objectives,

(c) has not been able to set up elected
administrative structures at any level more than
eight months after registration but, instead, is
developing a sit-tight syndrome in the interim
officers,

(d) invites governors into its fold for the purpose
of using them to secure funds for election
purposes, which funds would naturally be the
product of looting of the respective state
treasuries,

(e) has manifested lack of concern for the well
being of the generality of the society, particularly
the less privileged, by directing its members in
the National Assembly to block the national
budget, a directive that could never be justified,
to mention a few reasons,

I have therefore opted to return to my original
political platform the PDP which till date has not
be parochialised either ethnically or religiously.
I firmly believe that this platform is, in the
Nigerian situation, the best avenue of political
service to my people and the nation at large.
I assure my numerous supporters and admirers
that change of platform will not transform into a
change of the personality you ever admired in me,
and crave your understanding and support. I
remain committed to justice to all, at all times, at
all cost.

As I declare my membership of the PDP on
Saturday 22nd February, 2014 my major request
of you is your earnest prayers for me to continue
to be who I have been. May I also request your
support in welcoming Mr. President, Dr. Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan to this epoc event.
In God I trust.

God bless you all, and our Great country.
Chief Mike Ikenna Ahamba KSC, SAN.

They're thinking the Titanic is big enough to reach the bottom of the sea and still remain on the surface. In other words, they think that the water is not deep enough to swallow them.

They will be so disappointed!

Meanwhile, GEJisit

This is a STALE news

It happened last year

I am so sure Mike Ahamba must be seriously cursing himself for his decision owing to the massive momentum Gen Buhari has going for him at the moment
