Kano State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and his Bayelsa counterpart, Douye Diri, as a relief to the party.
The State Chairman of the party, Yusif Kibiya, who said this while reacting to the defection, expressed PDP’s gladness that the governors defected from the party.
According to him, the defections of the governors were not a shocker, adding that their actions have no electoral value as it would not determine election results.
He alleged that the Federal Government was planning to destroy the PDP and turn the country into a one-party system.
“It’s not a shocker. All of them, we knew they were going. Anybody in PDP knows. We know that. It’s not a shocker.
“We are glad they are gone. Because you can’t deal with people with double-edged swords. These people are compromised.
“They are thinking they are getting some pay; all these things, by the central government. And some were threatened. It’s very clear. So it’s nothing new with PDP. We all know,” he said.
