2027: Tambuwal blasts APC, attributes PDP defections to ‘stomach infrastructure’

Former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has expressed his disappointment and concern over the recent defections of members from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the Northwest Zonal meeting of the PDP held at Hotel 17, Kaduna, on Saturday, Tambuwal attributed the defections to “stomach infrastructure” rather than the interest of the people.

“People leave parties for certain reasons or for different reasons, but what I have been observing in the past are defections not based on the interest of the people but based on stomach infrastructure(six)”, Tambuwal said.

He added, “If you are talking about defecting in the interest of the people, I believe no one can go to the APC. If you are a politician with conscience, with the current policies being driven by the government of the APC and the current economic doldrum that the APC has driven Nigerians into hardship across the country and the dismal performance of the Tinubu’s administration, there is nothing attractive outside stomach infrastructure.”

Tambuwal, representing Sokoto South Senatorial District in the Senate, questioned the motivation behind the defections, stating that no politician with a conscience would join the APC given its current policies and the economic hardship faced by Nigerians.

“So, those based on stomach infrastructure are not worrisome. It is for all of us who believe in this country; who believe in the service of the people to continue to come together and work out something that will ensure that by 2027, we ease out this administration that lacks focus, that has no compassion; that do not have any direction and that is riderless,” he added.

The senator urged like-minded Nigerians to come together and work towards ensuring that the APC was voted out by 2027.

Meanwhile, the PDP in the North-West has reiterated its commitment to providing leadership and moving the country forward, vowing to oust the APC from power in Nigeria.
