APC Berates Tambuwal's Remarks on Defection From PDP to APC
  • Tambuwal had dismissed their actions as driven by ” stomach infrastructure
  • APC says former Sokoto governor, a serial defector

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly refuted former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal’s comments regarding the recent wave of defections from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling party.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Tambuwal had dismissed their actions as driven by ” stomach infrastructure.”

EDITOR’S PICK

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka recalled Tambuwal’s political adventure ” from the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) to the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) in 2007 and back to ANPP and then off to the PDP, and decamping in 2014 to APC and finally crawling back to PDP, ignominiously, in 2018,” noted that the former Speaker of the House of Representatives “lacks the moral turpitude to comment on the intentions of politicians who have defected from a crisis-ridden PDP to our great party.”

Morka claimed that PDP defectors were impressed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic accomplishments and saw potential in aligning with the APC.

He noted that Tinubu’s administration had made significant strides in fostering economic growth and development, drawing the attention of opposition party members seeking a more promising political platform.

The statement reads in part:” Riled by the gale of defection plaguing his decimated Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), His Excellency, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto state and Senator representing Sokoto South, on Saturday, February 15, 2025, opined that the development was only driven by ‘stomach infrastructure’ as, in his warped view, no politician with conscience would join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

APC Berates Tambuwal's Remarks on Defection From PDP to APC

“There remains profound wisdom in the saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. That wisdom has clearly eluded Tambuwal, a notorious and vainglorious party defector.

Evidently, his comments more aptly characterised his own convoluted record of defections from the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) to the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) in 2007 and back to ANPP and then off to the PDP, and decamping in 2014 to APC and finally crawling back to PDP, ignominiously, in 2018.

“By his assertions, Tambuwal’s itinerant defections were in chase of “stomach infrastructure”, purely self-serving and without any conscience.

A wandering politician like Tambuwal lacks the moral turpitude to comment on the intentions of politicians who have defected from a crisis-ridden PDP to our great party.

“Contrary to Tambuwal’s jibe, members of the PDP are joining APC, ostensibly, to identify with President Bola Tinubu’s bold economic reform agenda in the face of growing and undeniable positive indications of a resurgent Nigeria. Many of the defectors have offered this as the raison d’etre for their defection, quite apart from the fact that the PDP is in a state of bedlam, and is now an unrecognizable shadow of its old self.

“Recently, for the first time in many years, on President Tinubu’s vigilant watch, the country has surpassed its Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC’s) quota of 1.5 mbpd. This remarkable feat is attributable to a combination of factors, from vastly improved security to purpose-driven oil sector reforms.

“Similarly, the country has recorded consistent trade surpluses; increased Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs); high yielding stock market; enhanced foreign reserve and numerous other indices of a steadily rebounding economy.

“Instead of begrudging citizens for exercising their fundamental freedom of association, Tambuwal and fellow political villains, like former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, should accept responsibility for the political carnage in the PDP, apologize to their members and maintain a humble and penitent disposition going forward.”
