PDP not moved over defection of ex-minister, two guber aspirants


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the defection of its former Niger State chairman, Abdulrahman Enagi and two former governorship aspirants, Ahmed Baka and Engr. Hanafi Sudan, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as good riddance of paper weight officials.

In a statement signed by the party’s chairman, Tanko Beji, the PDP asked the party’s supporters to remain focused “and refuse to be distracted by the action of a few people.”

It said, “those who defected were moles in the party”, and that the party was not moved by the series of defections in the past weeks. “The defectors are good riddance to bad rubbish,” he added.

Enagi, Baka, Sudan and the PDP state treasurer, Ibrahim Ibeto, and one time President of the Nigeria Olympic Committee and former Minister of Sports, Alhaji Sani Ndanusa, dumped the party recently.

Beji said, “Those that left the party are lone rangers, who cannot command 10 supporters in their various wards. The former chairman, the governorship aspirants, treasurer are unpopular Abuja politicians”.
