The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, on Tuesday, described the defection of some of the party’s governors as an effort by the ruling APC to rig the 2023 General Elections.

Secondus’ remarks follows the defection of the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, after weeks of speculations.

Secondus, while addressing journalists in Abuja, insisted that the PDP is ready to return to power in 2023 after kicking the APC out.

He dismissed the possible impacts of the governors’ defection on the party as he hinged its chances in coming general elections on masses whom he said are tired of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

EKO HOT BLOG had reported how the PDP had threatened to explore all options to secure the mandate given to it by the Supreme Court as Secondus described Matawalle as a man “who has probably lost memory of how he became governor.”

In his formal defection on Tuesday in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara, Matawalle was welcomed to the party by 11 governors from the party, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and other party stakeholders.
