Ex-Senate Leader says he can’t ‘hang around’ PDP anymore

Former Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, has said he can’t continue to “hang around” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ndoma-Egba said further that he never had a political life within the PDP.

The former lawmaker made the comments while speaking to The Nation on Wednesday, August 26, 2015.

He said:

“What I would sa Ndoma-Egba y is that for the past three years, I have not had any political life within the PDP because I was shut out and I still have political life in me. So I cannot hang around hoping for PDP for the rest of my life. I am not getting younger.”

“The philosophy of PDP was to destroy Victor Ndoma-Egba. They spent more time pursuing me than they spent pursuing elections. Now in the last election, I did not even show up because I was shut out completely. Some of my supporters had left for APC and others to Labour Party. So I did not even come home. I was here in Abuja all though the elections.”

“I was politically inactive during that period. I did not follow PDP or anybody to any campaign. I was here in Abuja. So who were the people I persecuted, when I was being persecuted myself? I was fighting for my own dear life. So who were people I persecuted? Where did they see me? If I were to persecute anybody, it would be people in PDP. So where are these coming from? The people who said I should apologize, they should tell me who to apologize to and for what.”

Ndoma-Egba will reportedly defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the end of August 2015.
