I see all nPDP members, others returning to PDP very close to elections—Turaki
Considering the endless back and front movements between the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and aggrieved members of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) block within the APC led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, Bar. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki has said “I will not be surprised, if the members of the nPDP come back to PDP”.
In an interview, the member Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), recalled that “These were members of PDP family. Times will arise as a result of small family disagreements that people may decide to go their separate ways. But family will always be family”.
This happened especially when members of the PDP who left to go into that contraption, they were first witch-hunted. They were used and dumped. Those who left, they were in government in PDP full of action, delivery of services, but they have found themselves in a place where there is chronic inaction, lack of service delivery. So, it is a situation that they are not used to. They will have to leave and get a place that will be conducive for them. APC certainly is not the same with PDP, you cannot compare the two.
“If you look at the level of in-fighting going on in APC, it is so disgusting. Never in the history of Nigeria and governance in the country, have we witnessed how people have been divided against themselves. Government that is supposed to have majority both in the legislature and executive, is still fighting itself. It has not completed any single project worthwhile for Nigerians to have invested their hope, support and time. Nothing! I can’t image how President’s advisers would allow him to travel all the way to other States just for him to commission a borehole. I can’t also imagine how President’s advisers and handlers would allow him to go to a state to commission wheelbarrows, called “amalanke” in Hausa language.
“That is why I am saying Buhari’s handlers are not helping him. Yes, he believes in them. They are not helping his government. They are only helping themselves. At the end of the day, the buck stops at his table. That is why majority of Nigerians are holding him responsible because the buck stops at his table.
