THE Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says he has never really liked the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) even before his appointment as presidential aide in 2015.
Adesina made this known via a statememt yesterday while reacting to the defection of Governor Ben Ayade for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, the opposition party “was too much of buccaneering”.
Adesina said he was full of happiness when the governor announced his decision to dump the PDP for the APC.
Ayade had on May 20, formally defected to the ruling party shortly after meeting with about six APC governors who visited him at the Government House in Calabar the state capital.
According to Adesina, “Yes, I’ve never really liked the PDP because I felt there was too much of buccaneering in the party, but I’d always been honest enough to give some governors in the fold of thee party who were doing well their dues.
“I always mentioned Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State (he was still in PDP then), Danjuma Goje of Gombe State, and some others. They stood out for the good works in their states”.
Meanwhile, there are claims that more PDP Governors will still defect to the APC before the 2023 election.
