Defections driven by personal gain, says Tambuwal

As reported by Daily Trust, Tambuwal criticised defectors who aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and argued that their motives were not rooted in public service.
“People leave parties for different reasons. But what I have observed is that defections are not based on the interest of the people but on personal gains, what I call ‘stomach infrastructure.
“If you are a politician with a conscience, you wouldn’t join the APC given the current economic hardship and the poor performance of the Tinubu administration,” Tambuwal stated.
Tambuwal: Tinubu’s administration has failed Nigerians
The PDP Chieftain lambasted the APC-led federal government, accusing it of lacking focus, compassion, and direction.
He called on opposition forces to unite and strategize for the 2027 elections to provide an alternative for Nigerians.
“There is nothing appealing in the APC beyond personal benefits. Those of us who believe in this country and in service to the people must come together to ensure that by 2027, we remove this administration that has failed Nigerians,” he added.
