The PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, reacting to the recent defection of 27 PDP members of Sokoto state House of Assembly to APC on Thursday in Abuja has maintained that it was normal for PDP members to defect to opposition parties.
Speaking after inaugurating a 14 member caretaker committee for the party`s Kwara state chapter, he said the development would not affect the party in anyway.
“If 27 have left, many would come in, that is the beauty of democracy. This is democracy in action where freedom of choice is entrenched.’’ He said.
He said that the inauguration of the PDP Kwara care taker committee was the beginning of the process aimed at ensuring a foundation which the party had always advocated.
Tukur maintained that the PDP stands for democracy not dictatorship.
He, however, expressed hope that the year 2014, would be a year of peace, unity and prosperity for the party and Nigerians generally.
He tasked the committee members to ensure that they got the mandate of the electorate for the party in 2015.
