‘PDP govs decamping to APC shows we are moving towards totalitarianism’

From Noah Ebije, KadunaThe National Publicity Secretary of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Professor Tukur Muhammad-Baba has expressed concerns about PDP governors defecting to the APC, saying it shows that Nigeria is moving towards totalitarianism.He spoke to the Daily Sun in a chat about the defection spree among PDP governors, saying, “I am not really surprised about the development, though of course, it is at the level of speculation. The Delta governor has defected.

But two days ago, we received statement from the Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal that he remains a PDP governor. So, let’s wait to see what happens. “Secondly, it is not surprising, we have been moving towards totalitarianism not only in process of governance, but also in the structure of political parties.



Don’t forget that PDP as a party has been throttling since 2023 election. The party is divided. Some members of the party have identified with the APC.

For example, the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike said he is a PDP member, but he clearly identifies with the APC more than the APC members. “There is this desperation for 2027 elections. The government is marshalling all resources at its disposal towards the election.

It is coercing or persuading governors and other political leaders to support the government and some legislators to go back to APC with the promise that they will be given automatic tickets. “But, it is the voters that will decide what will happen if only they will be allowed to have their way, which is increasingly looking remote. So, personally, I will say let us wait and see.

What have we not seen before? It is happening now, and it may continue. It is a sad political development,” he said. $(document).
