The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the defection of governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as “unpardonable betrayal”.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Zamfara state governor, Matawalle defectes from the PDP to the APC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The governor while speaking on his defection had stated that \u201cI believe with this coming together, I\u2019m going to work hard with my other colleagues so that we can get more from the federal government, particularly on the issue of insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the development via a statement released on Saturday by PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan<\/a>, the main opposition party said Matawalle\u2019s statement further exposed that the APC was never committed to fighting insecurity but \u201cfueling it for political gains\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe statement by Governor Matawalle further confirms that the APC has been promoting insecurity, particularly terrorism and kidnapping for ransom, in various parts of the country as a way to create an emergency situation to cover their atrocities, siphon public funds as well as intimidate and coerce state governors elected on the platform of other political parties to join their fold,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

While calling his defection an \u201cunpardonable act of betrayal\u201d, the party said from Matawalle\u2019s statement, it is clear that he joined the ruling party out of intimidation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDP holds that by this confession, it is therefore clear that Governor Matawalle did not defect to the APC because the Party has any democratic credential as erroneously claimed by the APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, but only surrendered to intimidation and cowardly joined those behind the killings and acts of violence in Nigeria,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the APC, as a party of political bandits, does not have any democratic credential to attract well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Matawalle must however note that joining such individuals, who have brought so much anguish and pain to his people, is an unpardonable act of betrayal which will continue to act as an albatross particularly against the backdrop of his own vows.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the reclaiming of the governorship mandate, the PDP described Matawalle\u2019s boast as the feeble kick of a disoriented and confused deserter, stressing that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is clear on the responsibilities of a deputy governor that finds himself under an absconding governor like Matawalle.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
