After Senate President Bukola Saraki dumped the ruling party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, it was widely expected that Abdullahi, being his loyalist, would follow suit.

There were widespread reports on Tuesday that Abdullahi had done just that, but he vehemently denied it.

However, on Wednesday, he confirmed his exit from the ruling party, saying his “personal stake in the issue of Kwara makes it incongruous” for him to continue to sit as part of the working committee of the party.

Abdullahi complained that he has recently had to endure the “flagrant usurpation” of his role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that he considers “unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards”.

He added that in a situation whereby his loyalty is constantly brought into question, his subordinates deployed to subvert his office, and his views constantly second-guessed on the basis of his political affiliation, it became imperative for him to review his position.

“Clearly, I cannot continue to function as the spokesman of a party whose expectations of that role is incompatible with my personal principles,” he said.
“In the same token, I can no longer justify to myself that I should remain in a party which has now made it clear to the world that the political group that I belong is no longer wanted, and which has

hung my membership of that group as an albatross around my neck.”

THE FULL STATEMENT
PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL PUBLICITY OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), MALLAM BOLAJI ABDULLAHI
AUGUST 1ST, 2018.
In view of recent political developments in the country and within the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have decided to resign my position as the National Publicity Secretary as well as my membership of the party with effect from today.

In the last few days, I have had to endure the flagrant usurpation of my role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that I consider unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards.

I have served the APC honestly and to the best of my ability and when I stood for and won my election at the last convention; it was a keen desire to continue to do so. However, in a situation whereby my loyalty is constantly brought into question; my subordinates deployed to subvert my office; and my views constantly second-guessed on the basis of my political affiliation, it has become imperative for me to review my position.

Since assuming office as the spokesman of the party, I have tried to set a new template for public political communications in a way that departs from the vulgar abuse and verbal aggression of the recent past, where cheap lies and crude propaganda were normalised as politics, and even celebrated as measures of competence. Unfortunately, those who felt I was not “forceful enough” framed my ethical disposition as evidence of a lack of commitment to the party.

The unlawful dissolution of the validly elected party executive in Kwara State earlier in the week was only another phase in the unrelenting assault I have had to endure. As a national officer of the party, who sits in that Committee, courtesy should demand that my views be sought on a matter that concerns my state and in which I am directly involved. That action was, to say the least, disrespectful.

Quite recently, we all took the oath to do justice to all and not allow personal interests to interfere with our official responsibilities. With this obviously presumptuous action, and the decision to appoint as chairman of caretaker committee, the same man who had emerged as the chairman from the parallel congress in my State, the NWC has taken sides, violated its oath office and subverted its own credibility as an impartial arbiter. Yet, these are the same people that have continued to insinuate that others are serving interests other than those of the party.

Politics is local, and my personal stake in the issue of Kwara makes it incongruous for me to continue to sit as part of the working committee of the party. Clearly, I cannot continue to function as the spokesman of a party whose expectations of that role is incompatible with my personal principles. In the same token, I can no longer justify to myself that I should remain in a party which has now made it clear to the world that the political group that I belong is no longer wanted, and which has hung my membership of that group as an albatross around my neck.

Because the energetic Oshiomole was proactive to have noticed your loyalty was no longer with the party, the moment your benefactor Saraki, indicated interest to go back to the Regional/Ipob party called PDP...

So you were outsmarted by the able Chairman. So quietly go and lick Saraki poo with the useless pigs from the other side. .

Sai Baba Till 2023....Osinbajo/ Elrufai Till 2031..

Nice

If you still fall for all this gimmicks....

Last Last na the same people... Coming up with different formats to scam gullible Nigerians.
Believe it or not... Na the same people. This two parties are one!!!

Aunty ngene will soon say saraki and bolaji are useless but was jumping up and down when they defected in 2015.

Oshobaba must be doing 6 to 6 fasting upon midnight prayers by now

.

Good for him

Bye Mr abdulai. for people trying so hard to criminalize defection, trump had various time been a member of two other parties, same with Buhari been a former member of APP, ANPP and CPC. Democracy isn't only about provision of roads, bridges and boreholes, (even a dictator can provide that) democracy is about respect of human rights; like freedom of speech, freedom of association without victimization. When MKO's right was violated people from north to south fought hard for our democracy to be restored, yet Buhari the PTDF chairman under abacha never spoke against such tyranny, General yaradua from same katsina fought for democracy till the last day, he could have accepted a juicy position like Buhari did and sing praises to a tyrant he never did. Same abacha that killed kudirat (a woman?) yet Mr integrity supported him and sang praises. So please let anyone defect when they want to, cos nobody holy pass

PDP are behaving as if they have been bought by this rich Arabs...see them signing players up and down

Don't correct the correct corrections corrected by the correct corrector because the correct corrections corrected by the correct corrector are correct.

Saraki is therefore correct by leaving a party that fails to correct their errors.

We shall correct them by voting them out both APC and PDP

The 7 Stages of Grieving a Breakup and or a Defection

Desperate for Answers - The drive to know is consuming and can come at the expense of rational thoughts and behaviors. They start holding meetings at odd hours and demand oaths of allegiance from the participants.

Denial - They whip their mouthpieces and media machinery into high gear to counter and deflect attention.

It can't be true - They laugh off SaharaReporters and other's expose

Bargaining - They are willing to give anything to avoid accepting it's over excluding the presidency.

Relapse - They head back to vicious and outright lies and propaganda

Anger - Even more vicious lies and brain-numbing propaganda plus the EFCC, Police and other institutions of government like the FIRS and FSARS and non-state actors like NTA, TVC and the Nation are unleashed on perceived defectors and saboteurs.

Then in 2019 - We kick them the hell out.

Things are falling apart in the APC family.

Some people go dey loot money as we dey busy watching film

Chaaaaiiiiii Oturugbeke oooo!!! APC dismantling into bits. Remaining Tinubu and his camp

They will come after you in a jiffy..

The great iroko is going down

Yea this one still get talk for mouth

My Reasons for Defecting from APC to PDP – Saraki

He is a progressive and a man of integrity who wants the best for the nation......APC/BMC 2015


He has been a mole and a looter with no political value. ......APC/BMC 2018

London bridges falling down...
Falling down....
Falling down...

Okay

In the best interest of APC, they should open their doors wide open, anyone that wants to leave should leave.

FG should also not run after defectors(For reconciliation or persecution), focus on building a strong foundation for the party and watch who you admit into the party folds.

Although election is around the corner and performance of APC has been below par, APC should strive to give good governance and prepare for the next election.

No distractions, just focus!

From observation, there isn't one strategist in APC. Don't f**king react to any hit/set backs, take the blow and plan 3 steps ahead. Sacrifice some piece, just to check mate the king.

Na wa ooo
