‘Defectors to APC are cowards,’ says party chieftain

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ali Kano has described those leaving the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as 'cowards'.

The PDP chieftain noted that all the defectors would be disappointed and subsequently return to the party.

“They (defectors) are trying to destroy the foundation of our party - the PDP,” Alhaji Kano said according to DailyTrust.

“We are not fools; those that decamped may make a U-turn one day and history will beckon on them because they are cowards.

“Besides, Nigeria’s democracy will never grow when people lack the discipline and political ideology to stick to their political commitment,” the PDP chieftain added.

Meanwhile, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has disclosed plans to leave the PDP.
