The former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, described the string of defections that extend by Nigeria's political landscape as the sinners meeting.
According to him, the dropout to the ruling party is not a sign that the Congress of all progressives (APC) has had a good performance, but are sinners, who seek forgiveness for their numerous sins.
He pointed out that deserters are only fulfilling what a former governor of the state of Edo, said Adams Oshiomhole regarding corrupt politicians.
Oshiomhole was summoned having said that no matter the severity of a politician's sins, they would forgive him as soon as he joined the APC.
“These are people who have committed atrocious crimes against the Nigerian people and are jumping to the APC ship for the forgiveness of their sins. It is not that they believe in Tinubu, no; they do not. They are just gathering so that their sins are forgiven.
“Therefore, it is a conclave of the political cardinals who have committed serious sins against the Nigerian people and a political party has offered them the opportunity to forgive when entering,” he said.
He also added that defections would not add any value to President Bola Tinubu, instead, deserters would create problems in the future party.
“You know there is an adage in Hausa that if animals celebrate the death of a butcher, is the knife also died? If the beneficiaries of the people's mandate are getting riding, have people also drop out?
“Therefore, there is no added value to Tinubu, except that it has aggravated the situation in its party and there will be an implosion,” he said.
He also dismissed concerns in certain sectors that the entry of politicians such as the former governor of the state of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, in the Social Democratic Party (SDP) could be a potential threat to Prince's presidential ambition Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of the 2023 party.
He said that the political charism, the image and personality of Adebayo within the Nigerian political environment have presented it as an obvious force to treat in 2027.
He stressed that, apart from that, he is the only presidential candidate who has constantly maintained a media campaign against the failed and unpopular policies of the current government.
“Then, the Nigerians are very familiar with the voice, the charisma and the leadership qualities of Adebayo. Then, whether you mobilize all politicians in the SDP, you must resolve the question of Adebayo in the SDP as a presidential candidate before any other person.
“This is because no one has promoted the SDP in Nigeria as Adebayo. After Chief Mko Abiola, he classifies Adebayo in the contemporary SDP as the highest. Therefore, the concern, concern as some people are expressing is normal. Human beings entertain, but the reality is that the name of SDP since 2023 has been sustained by the dog that the dog, the dog Reality is that the name of the SDP of the SDP since 2023 has been sustained by the belonging, the commitment, the commitment, the crime and the name of the SDP of the SDP since 2023 has been sustained by the percenez Adebayo.
“Then, it is a force to defeat in any political agreement that the SDP puts on land to produce a presidential candidate. It is a patriot who did not join politics for himself; he has delivered the rest of his life to the service of humanity and did that in his 50th birthday.
“Then, he does not like politics because he must be; he likes policy to ensure that good governance, justice, rule of law, equity and equity reintroduce and reinforce in the governance structure of Nigeria. Then, even if he lost in a free, fair and transparent electoral process, he will continue to be a team player in the fight for a better Nigeria,” he happened.
Also reacting to whether the SDP is still in the coalition conversations, he said: “This question will be better answered by the leadership of the party because I can only speak from the perspective as someone who is aware of the development in the coalition. I am aware that the delegation of the coalition met with the leadership of the SDP, but still that I still have the details of that discussion. Public in which I can think of those who made myself in public, but that I cannot say that it is not what I can, as I did, as I did, as I did, since I cannot say it.
