Governor Aliyu re-affirms Allegiance to PDP
The governor of Niger state, Alhaji Aliyu Babangida, has stated that he would rather quit politics than defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
The governor whose deputy defected to the APC just before the presidential elections, made the comments while receiving guests at his office in Minna on Wednesday, saying the politicians who have been taking such steps are “suffering from poverty of integrity, morality and principle.”
He said: “I will resign from politics instead of joining APC, those defecting from PDP, based on the outcome of the presidential and National Assembly election, lack principles of integrity and morality, they are indeed stomach politicians.
“For principles of integrity, morality, we have chosen to remain in the PDP. I heard people insinuating that I have dumped my party candidate for the APC candidate. It is a lie, I will never do such a thing.”
