Buhari's Lawyer Decamps To Pdp, Describes Apc As A Sinking ‘titanic by Dragonking: 8:04am On Jan 31, 2015
Mike Ahamba SAN, attorney to General
Muhammadu Buhari, has dumped the All progressives Congress (APC), for the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

He said he jumped ship because the party is riddled
with so much dishonesty and lack of transparency .

Ahamba maintained that incumbent Governors were
invited to the fold with the sole aim of securing their
states funds for elections .

Below is the full text;

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.

I'm sure he is somewhere lambasting himself for ever taken that step if it actually happened. Many things have happened between then and now and a lot is still going to happen in the remaining two weeks.

Good move. So APC still don't have a manifesto! Anyway why am I surprised? APC is a party made up of disgruntled individuals that want to wrest power by all means possible whether through propaganda or inciting hatred.
