PRESIDENTIAL media aide, Femi Adesina, has predicted more defections in the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before the 2023 general elections.
Describing the PDP as a “beleaguered party in total confusion,” Adesina said President Buhari’s projects will make more governors join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said, “Between now and 2023, there will be more confusion in the party. No one made noise when they (PDP) were holding BoT (Board of Trustees) meetings during Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua and Goouck Jonathan regimes. Why are they complaining now?”
Speaking on ARISE TV today, Adesina claimed that while the PDP governors meet in the day to chastise the APC, some of their governors sneak into the Aso Rock Presidential Villa at night to beg to defect to the APC against their claims that they are being intimidated.
According to the President’s spokesman, some “PDP governors have been talking with the APC leadership on plans to defect,” and claimed that many of them will still dump their party next year when President Buhari begins to inaugurate projects.
“There will be a massive unveiling of infrastructure come 2022; starting from commissioning of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway which the PDP could not achieve in 16 years, to the AKK Pipeline and so many highways. These massive projects will make a lot of PDP governors join the APC,” he said.
