Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro has raised alarm over ongoing defections from PDP to APC, calling them politically motivated acts of self-preservation rather than principled decisions. He questions the integrity and consequences of this political trend.
- Moro criticized PDP members crossing to the APC, saying they prioritize power access over democratic values.
- He referenced an APC claim that defectors have their “sins forgiven” upon joining the ruling party.
- Several top politicians, including Okowa and Oborevwori, have recently left PDP for APC in rapid succession.
Moro’s frustration reflects the disillusionment many Nigerians feel about party politics. Elected officials switching sides mid-term betray the people who voted for them based on specific ideologies. In a fragile democracy, loyalty to platforms matters.
As the 2027 elections draw near, will politicians continue shifting parties to stay close to power, or will voters demand accountability for these moves?
