The former Governor of Niger State, Dr . Babangida Aliyu of the Peoples Democratic Party has said he would have become a minister if he had defected to the All Progressives Congress.
Aliyu made the remark on Monday in Minna following the defection of 34 ,826 politicians from other political parties, including the deputy chairman of PDP in the state , Aminu Yusuf .
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that many of the politicians who defected to the APC were mainly Aliyu’ s close allies in the state .
“I have no intention of defecting to the APC , because I believe in the PDP .
“I had the opportunity of decamping to the APC when I led the G- 7 Governors , but did not do so because of my belief in the PDP.
“What we protested then was to correct some of the abnormalities in PDP, but not to defect to the APC .
“If I were a selfish politician , I would have defected to the APC then . Maybe I would have become a minister now,’’ he said .
He noted that the PDP made him a governor, saying that it was a strong political party if not for internal wranglings that made it to lose the 2015 election .
The former governor said the party had started working toward correcting the wrongs at the various levels .
On the herders/ farmers clash across the country, Aliyu said the Federal Government must see it as a security concern and plan how to stop it .
He advised the government to establish cattle ranches where necessary and carry the stakeholders along in order to prevent misunderstanding that could result in more clashes

The black face should go and sit down somewhere. Heartless looter.

You mean Minister of God?

Because, to become anything in PMB administration, you have to know the Cabals first except reconciliator.

Even a condemned criminal will be made a minister under the fraudulent APC change govt.

A govt that appoints dead people to office is that one a serious govt.
