Former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has downplayed the wave of political defections in Nigeria’s Northwest, stating that they are motivated by personal interests rather than the welfare of the people.
Speaking to journalists after the maiden Zonal Executive Council Meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Northwest in Kaduna on Saturday, February 15, Tambuwal criticized defectors who align with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), arguing that their decisions are self-serving.
“People leave parties for different reasons. But what I have observed is that defections are not based on the interest of the people but on personal gains, what I call ‘stomach infrastructure,’” Tambuwal said.
