Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chair­man of the Presidential Ad­visory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), on Monday berated the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for allowing governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into its fold.

According to him, PDP gover­nors who are defecting to the APC are highly unprincipled people and opportunists who want to remain relevant at all cost.

Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State and Ben Ayade of Cross Rivers have already defected from the PDP to APC, while Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara will be formally received into the ruling party today.

Also Senator Peter Nwao­boshi, lawmaker represent­ing Delta North Senatorial District also defected from the PDP to APC last weekend.

There are also speculations that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State is at the final stage of defecting to the APC, a claim he has repeatedly de­nied.

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, who had in June last year predicted that 10 PDP governors were on their way to the APC, also paid a courtesy visit to Ikpeazu on Sunday, fueling rumours that Ikpeazu may be on his way to the party.

Speaking exclusively with Daily Independent, Sagay, who said the actions of the party leadership has greatly embarrassed him as one of its members, also blasted the national caretaker committee chairman of the APC, Gover­nor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, who, he said, has failed to carry out his role to organ­ise a national convention for the APC.

“On the issue of defections, I am extremely dismayed and troubled by that. I am also very displeased with the APC for ac­cepting all these people. These are opportunists who want to use the chance of joining APC to continue to remain in power and remain relevant.

“They are totally unprin­cipled people and the APC it­self is a highly unprincipled party for accepting people like that. Why should a gov­ernor who has contested and won election as a PDP man, why should we allow him to cross over to APC? That is an affront on the majority of vot­ers who voted for him. For me, it is a very bad situation and it is not good for the image of the APC.

“On each occasion, oppor­tunism will carry the day, the people who have gone out to cast their votes will be terribly disappointed with such devel­opments.

“I am particularly disap­pointed in the Yobe governor, Mai Mala Buni, who is the APC caretaker chairman. He was put there to organise a convention. Up till now, he has not succeeded. Instead, he is going about buying PDP peo­ple to join APC. That to me, is unprincipled and it is embar­rassing to me as a supporter of APC”

No, Oga you got it wrong ; all Nigerian Politicians are totally unprincipled, rotten to the core.
If you think am lying, ask Bros Lie Mohammed

Apc has failed woefully in the centre they need the states to make up for abysmal performance.

I agree with him on this one....


Surprisingly, a certain Ali Modu Sheriff is warming up to be the unprincipled party's chairman.

Different parties, ONE people.

SirGay trying to be politically correct...

What's the difference between Apc and Pdp?

oloo

So, Buni is buying these people to join APC. This is serious

Very true
All of dem dey useless

they are just moving from one low wit group to another low wit group just to remain relevant and in control

Cry me a River

A party built on evil propaganda cannot stand the test of time. In due time this evil party that has birthed so much evil in this country will be destroy permanently with all the evil members.

A mudu of Beans is now ₦1,100 it was ₦300 in Goodluck Jonathan era in Abuja.

3 mudu is = 1 paint in Lagos.
So therefore 1paint is = ₦3,300. It was ₦800 - ₦900 in Goodluck Jonathan era.

If you have opportunities to travel out of this Fail country, do it without looking back. Because we've enter one chance bus

Sometimes I just sit down and wish Nigerians can vote out all this leaders,they don't have our interest,they are only after their pockets. Please all Nigerians have just one responsibility come 2023; vote any other party apart from apc and pdp.

Have you had a taste of soybeans before? It is an excellent food which can be used to substitute milk,it is more nutricious and delicious and is natural,best of all it is pocket friendly. It can be used for tea,pap,custard,garri,oats and much more.

Please patronise my business. God bless you!

So this man is still alive . He has been silent of recent. Any sane person knows that APC is a shameless party of blackmailers.

Give am small money now, the mumu man go shot da fk-up

Na today, APC has done more harm than good to Nigerians, nonsense and Buhari with his zombies.

Bullion van, terrorist, armed robbers etc

I agree with you on this

Whatever thing this man is against know that such thing is against Tinubu interest, but is too deep for Tinubu supporter's to understand what I mean, If you know you know.

He couldn't say it better. APC is a party I will never understand

Gbamsolutely

I think he meant to say that almost all of Nigeria politicians are highly unprincipled.

Someone does not want APC and votes the PDP candidate, the PDP candidate wins but overnight APC agents goes behind and bribes him to decamp from the PDP to APC

How is that right and fair to the people who wanted PDP government and didn't want APC government and went all the way to ensure that pdp wins the election?

A case in point is zamfara and cross rivers

Apc is a failure as a party, those governors or politicians defecting are also failures they are not doing it for the interest of their state but to protect their looting machines

Both Pdp and APC aren't principled.. Infact all Nigeria politicians are not principled

Lol

See principality and power of PDP

If he says APC is a "highly unprincipled" party for allowing PDP governors into it's fold, what then is he still doing working for an APC govt& being an APC member? Let him also show that he is principled and resign

The Man known for the truth as always. Prof, no be today we know. The fact is, both parties are siameae twins. If the PDP regained power today, there would be a similar exodus as seen today. A good reason we should shun both parties ahead of 2023. The majority of those who make up the apc today calling pdp all manners of names, including garba sehu himself, used to be pdp members, they were among those who destroyed the party and fled but the gullible Nigerians won't remember this fact. Garba worked well with atiku under obj led administration. Same would happen to the apc, should PDP come back( may they never, ever come back) ...they'd simply say...we're back home, after experimenting with the apc for 8 years and discovered that the party was not ready to govern . Our politicians aren't worth flexing muscles for, on social media walahi
