Governor Matawalle's defection is the most pathetic - Abaribe
Abaribe maintained that only politicians without integrity move from one party to the other.
He described the defection of the Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle, to the APC as the most pathetic.
His words:
“I will never leave the PDP even if I’m the last, this is because I don’t see what I can gain from the APC.
“For some of us who have built our reputation based on truth and integrity, there are things we cannot do.”
Why APC resisted e-transmission of results
The PDP chieftain also claimed that the APC was resisting the electoral transmission of results because it was afraid of defeat in the next general elections.
Nevertheless, he expressed optimism that the PDP will win the 2023 presidential elections.
His words:
“We are going to win. The problem of the APC will start in September. When the problems start coming, it will be very clear. Let’s not be worried about what is happening now.”
