The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of coercing opposition politicians into defection.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, made the allegation while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.

Speaking against the backdrop of a claim by a former media aide to late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, Ologunagba said many of the defections are not voluntary, but based on harassment, inducement, coercion and intimidation.

He added that the forced defections won’t last.

Naija News recalls that Ahmad stirred political waters by asserting that the Governor of Taraba State and another governor from the North West will, “in just a matter of days,” formally defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naija News reports that Ahmad made this assertion in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, October 7.

However, Ologunagba said the PDP is bigger than individual members, and as some people are leaving, others are also joining the party.

“A party is not about individuals but all the people. We have more and more diverse people working for the PDP today.

“More and more people are returning to the PDP because it’s getting itself together.

“The defections you see today are instigated by inducement, harassment, coercion, intimidation, and it won’t last,” he said.

I hope they were not threatened with efcc, make e be freewill joining oooo

For whatever it is worth, PDP is playing. When they get serious, Nigerians will know. For now, they can continue to dilly dally all they want. Opposition na ya mate? Wike hold dem for blokos and they have become more confused than the coalition people.

I guess this one is buying bag of rice somewhere cheaper than the rest of Nigerians

Politicians aren't defecting because of any coercion, they are defecting for their personal and political interests. APC has a lot to offer , what has PDP got to offer ? The members don't even know who is in charge or who is the party leader , whether it is Wike , damagun or makinde .

Remain 2 as prophec predicted
