Senator Adams Oshiomhole has shifted the question on the trending mass defection of politicians to former President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

According to the Edo born politician, the best person who can write a book on why people decamp from their political parties to another should be Atiku.

He noted that the former vice president and 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, left the PDP as a sitting vice president.

Speaking on Channels Television, Oshiomhole was reacting to the question of mass defection of politicians to the APC.

Some Nigerians have expressed surprise seeing the governor of Delta State ing the APC.

He said, “I’m speaking to you as somebody who has been governor, who knows that this is a possibility, that they can win election without ing the APC, absolutely.

“I ran my election as opposition, two times. In 2007, the PDP rigged me out. I went to court. I fought them and I won.

“And in 2012 I went for a rerun, and I won. So I understand the meaning of opposition. The point is, if you are in a place, even the Nigerian constitution recognizes, if your party is in tatters, the time you should have spent on state matters, you are spending the time on party matters, rather [move].

“But let me remind you that those who started defection, the man the most popular one in the history of Nigeria, is His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, when as a sitting Vice president of Nigeria he decamped from PDP to ACN, which is now part of APC.


“Was he coerced by ACN that were then led by Bola Tinubu, a non-state person as of that time?

“So that we had to settle all this argument about whether there is cohesion or no cohesion, was Atiku Abubakar coerced by Tinubu to come and ACN?


“I was governor in ACN; so I am familiar with the issue in the ACN. Atiku left Obasanjo in PDP to come and pick our ticket and run as president.


“Now, did we force him or coerce him to leave our party and return back to PDP to go and contest with, I believe Jonathan, and when he lost, with Jonathan as president, did we have the instrument to coerce him to return to the APC to contest the primaries against general Buhari, who later became the president and now former president?

“I think the best person who can write a book on why people decamp should be the former vice president. It will be nice to ask him, as a sitting vice president, you left your party.”

Simply put, Atiku has no moral right to be complain. He should quietly lick his wounds. People like him want to eat their cake and have it

Fear of government sponsored EFCC persecution and intimidation from APC bigwigs is the reason people defect to APC this days ,before it was a form of protest against the then ruling party PDP. But no longer so this days ..they're attacking Peter obi every day to see if he will be intimidated even to the point of ing APC but the guy no gree for them

Alhaji Atiku doesn't have any moral or political ground to caution or abuse any politician defecting.

They know Atiku stands a big chance to stifle this grand failure from aso rock hence this subtle attack. Donald Trump is a typical example. Atiku can stage a surprise come back like Trump.
