Apparently, riches and wealth abound in large supply in the PDP.
Aminu Tambuwal, Speaker of the House of Representatives, says himself and other lawmakers who defected to All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party would have been wealthier by now, if they had stayed put in the ruling party.
Tambuwal said it would have been easier to remain in the PDP and enjoy the financial benefits of being in the same party as the Federal Government.
A statement released on Monday, March 16, in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Media, Imam Imam?, quoted Tambuwal as uttering the comments at an APC town hall meeting held in Tsafe Emirate, Zamfara State.
“Many patriotic Nigerians who felt the need to change the course of our country have protested the inept administrative style on this country. They made their voices known by abandoning the PDP and teaming up with progressive-minded Nigerians.”
“Remaining in the PDP would have been the easy option for us. We would have been richer and would have been enjoying the benefits of being in the same political camp with the Federal Government.”
“But we chose a different option because we felt enough is enough. We felt Nigeria deserves better leadership that is why we are in the APC,” the statement added.
