A former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dele Momodu, has reacted to the recent gale of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) saying nothing will surprise him again about politicians in Nigeria.
Momodu, now a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (APC), spoke in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television, on Friday, following the defection of Ben Murray-Bruce, from the PDP to the APC.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine said the move by Murray-Bruce to the APC was not surprising, stressing that it is where the road is smooth at the moment.
“I watched it in utter disbelief because I assumed that he worked with us with the Atiku campaign during the presidential election. That’s my belief and maybe my judgment was wrong,” he stated.
“However, I give him the right enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria about freedom of association and freedom of movement. So, I don’t have any problem with it. Nothing can ever shock me again about politicians.
“Some people have genuine reasons to move from one party to another, especially if you have some aspirations which we believe will be better served in the next party.
“So Murray-Bruce moving to the APC is not surprising; that is where the road is smooth at the moment. Those of us in opposition are regarded as very stupid and not smart enough for not joining the rat race.”
