North pushed tinubu but the mumu of a man didn't get the tricks . They told him they had their consensus candidates but he kicked, went ahead and bought the people's conscience ( those hungry delegates who have never seen dollars in their lives) with money. Buhari once said if he should name his successor, they might kill him. How on earth would the people think it's tinubu? That's where the people should have noticed a signal.

Now that Tinubu had had his way by hook and crook, the mass defection had commenced. Yesterday and today's defection alone in Katsina and other northern states were unimaginable. By January 2023, things go happen.

SmartPolician:
No serious Nigerian should vote for the APC for president ever again. A party that moves from one old man (Buhari) to another old man (Tinubu).

A party of old presidential candidates who have nothing to offer but feel entitled to Aso Rock.

Aso Rock carries the dreams, hopes and aspirations of over 200m people; it's not old people's home.

Smart politician indeed, but they can vote for PDP?
The party of saints, so those zombies that defected from APC to PDP are saints? They automatically become good people?

Tomorrow same set of dogs will still come out and blame APC for all the misfortunes that befall Nigeria.
Meanwhile same APC was their former party.

PRESS RELEASE

Nigeria Can Never Be Destroyed Says Okowa, As
Tambuwal Shepherds APC Defectors To PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa has reaffirmed his firm belief that the country shall remain one indivisible entity despite the attempts by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to balkanize it.

In the same breath, Okowa, who is the incumbent Governor of Delta state, assured Nigerians that the mission and vision of the PDP and its Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is to ensure that Nigeria remains united.

Gov. Okowa made these remarks today in Sokoto where he received scores of bigwigs of the state chapter of the APC who brought hundreds of their underlings in a swift move to dump their party and join the PDP.

“PDP as a party,” he noted, “is a family that stands on the side of truth for Nigeria, unlike APC that wants to scatter it.”

Emphasizing that: “It is time to rescue our country and rebuild it,” he recommended that: “the rebuilding process has to start now. It is not for the Governor (of Sokoto state) alone. All of us have to work together to recover this country from those who want to destroy it.”

He pointed out that “there are some people, not in the PDP, who want to contest elections, but they don’t believe in one Nigeria. Nigeria can never be destroyed,” he added.

“I bring greetings from our leader and your son; our Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. He asks me to tell you that next year, when he would have won the election, that he would start to rebuild this nation and ensure that wherever you are from, we are one people,” he said.

Turning to his mission as a running mate, he said it is the same as that of his party and Alhaji Abubakar. “In my state I have people from Sokoto, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe, Borno… and we live and work together as one. Go and ask them. We don’t discriminate against them, because we believe in one Nigeria. And, we know that you also believe in one Nigeria.”

“Unfortunately, APC has tried to divide our nation,” he stressed, noting that the ruling party has only foisted insecurity, ASUU strike, unemployment and many other problems on the country, which it must be rid of before it can progress.

So, for him, “Nigeria needs a man with experience and knowledge, who is ready to rescue it. Atiku is the right man,” he offered, as “the APC government has failed us.”

To the party switchers, whom he thanked profusely, he said “we are bringing back our brothers who have seen the light: and, “we will work together with you and ensure that the greatness of the nation is restored.”

In his remarks, Gov. Tambuwal re-emphasized his commitment to the success of the PDP, Alhaji Abubakar and Gov. Okowa in all the forthcoming 2023 elections.

“We shall, collectively, by the grace of God, run a synergy towards delivering our candidate and his running mate; God willing, as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Vice President, come Feb. 2023.

“We are determined to work for the future of our party at all levels. I appeal to members of the party to accept our brothers and sisters who have returned home as integral part of the (PDP) family in Sokoto state,” he appealed.

The Governor chided the APC for taking a long time on the issue of bringing out a running mate,
wondering how it is then going to address the myriads of problems and challenges the country is facing if it is again entrusted with the leadership of the country?

“They brought us into this mess and they have no capacity to take us out. They’re not organized. They’re not patriotic. They don’t have the people in their heart,” he observed, urging eligible Nigerian voters to go and register and exercise their rights when it is time to elect candidates of their choice, just as he thanked the defectors for their effort.

Notable among the party switchers are an ex Acting Governor of Sokoto State, who also held sway as the former Speaker of the State House of Assembly (SOHA); and, is currently a Member House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abdullahi Balarabe Salame, the incumbent Speaker of SOHA, Rt. Hon. Aminu Mohammed Achida; and, an ex Minister of Transport; Youth and Sports; who was also the Director General of (President) Buhari Campaign, Hon. Yusuf Suleiman.

The erstwhile APC superiors and their subordinates were ushered into the PDP by the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa of Delta state.

Governor Okowa, who expressed delight with the huge defection, said in his social media platforms that: “it’s great to be in Sokoto State to join my dear friend, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, at a grand reception to welcome our new party members who defected from the APC!”

The event, which took place at the Giginya Stadium in Sokoto town, was also witnessed by members of the PDP National Working Committee led by the Deputy National Chairman (North), Amb Umar Iliya Damagum and other top government officials in Sokoto and beyond.

Others who left the APC for the PDP are: Hon. Yusuf Isah Kurdula, Sen. Bello Jibrin Gada (OFR), Hon. Aminu Bello ACY, Hon. Murtala Maigona and Hon. Abdullahi Hassan; a serving member of the House of Representatives, an ex Minister/legislator, an ex Commissioner, a serving member of SOHA and an ex local government Chairman respectively.

Alhaji A.A. Gumbi and Alhaji Yahaya Dallatu, both Sokoto based businessmen, the former who sought the APC governorship ticket in the state; and, the latter who until he switched was the State APC Treasurer, were joined by Alh. Abu Baki Illela, the State APC Vice Chairman (East) and a media practitioner, Alh. Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, to change their party affiliation.
