The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the recent defection of its former Niger State Chairman, Abdulrahman Enagi to the All Progressives Congress, APC, barely a month to the general elections.
Enagi dumped the party alongside two former governorship aspirants, Ahmed Baka and Engr. Hanafi Sudan; and others.
In a statement by the party’s chairman, Tanko Beji, the PDP asked the party’s supporters to remain focused “and refuse to be distracted by the action of a few people.”
It said, “those who defected are moles in the party.”
PDP said that the party was not moved by the series of defections in the past weeks.
“The defectors are good riddance to bad rubbish,” he added.
Enagi, Baka, Sudan and the PDP State Treasurer, Ibrahim Ibeto, and one time President of the Nigeria Olympic Committee and former Minister of Sports, Alhaji Sani Ndanusa, dumped the party recently.
Beji said, “Those that left the party are lone rangers who cannot command 10 supporters in their various wards.
“The former chairman, the governorship aspirants, treasurer are unpopular Abuja politicians.”
