Members of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC,
following the latter’s nationwide victory in the
presidential ,National Assembly and gubernatorial elections across
the country have been advised to return to the PDP to help
rebuild the party.
Making the appeal in Lagos,a
PDP member of the House of Representatives representing Ondo
East-Ondo
West Federal Constituency, Hon Joseph Akinlaja, implored the defected
PDP members to have a rethink of their action, adding that the
defeat of the party at the polls didn’t mean that the party had
collapsed.
“PDP is still very much alive.
PDP is not dead. PDP will rise again. Our defeat during
the elections by APC should not discourage PDP members.
Defection is not then answer. The best thing for all of us
to do is to re-strategies, and come back as
a formidable political party to challenge APC with a view of
becoming the ruling party again”, he declared.
While saying the PDP will
strive to become a stronger political party, he told the defectors:
“I don’t want the defectors to
see politics as bread and butter affair
alone. Politics is also about principle . Why should
you cross carpet or defect simply because your party lost an election? Election
is about losing and winning. When you win, you celebrate and when
you lose it is not the end of the world, you only need to go back to the
drawing board to plan for the future. If you jump ship anytime your party
have challenges or lost an election,then you are a political
harlot, and that is not good for your image”.
