Tambuwal: No politician with conscience will join APC… defections driven by stomach infrastructure

Aminu Tambuwal, a former governor of Sokoto state, says no politician with a conscience would join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Tambuwal spoke on Saturday in Kaduna after the national executive council (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the north-west zone.

Tambuwal, a former speaker of the house of representatives, said the current economic situation in the country makes the membership of the ruling APC unattractive.

He noted that politicians defecting from the PDP to join the APC are “driven by stomach infrastructure”.

He added that those who believe in the country must work together to unseat the APC-led government in 2027.

“People leave parties for certain reasons or for different reasons, but what I have been observing is that defections are not based on the interest of the people but based on stomach infrastructure, Tambuwal said.

“If you are talking about defecting in the interest of the people, I believe no one can go to the APC.

“If you are a politician with a conscience, with the current policies being driven by the government of the APC.

“The current economic doldrum caused by APC has driven Nigerians into hardship across the country, and with the dismal performance of the Tinubu administration, there is nothing attractive outside stomach infrastructure.”

“It is for all of us who believe in this country, who believe in the service of the people, to continue to come together and work out something that will ensure that by 2027, we ease out this administration that lacks focus, compassion, and does not have any direction.”
