Defection: APC using money to buy off PDP – Usman Bugaje

Former member, House of Representatives, and ex-presidential adviser, Usman Bugaje, has said that Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, is essentially using money to buy off the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

According to him, it could also be that those in opposition with records in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, might be threatened to defect, but the essential reason politicians are defecting is money.

As Arogidigba Global Journal earlier reported, the latest major defection happened on Wednesday when the governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, and the 2023 running mate to Atiku Abubakar of the PDP,  Ifeanyi Okowa, joined the APC along with National Assembly and state assembly members from the state, as well as local government chairmen from the state.

“Well, for what I know, and I don’t claim to know everything, the APC is basically using money to buy off PDP,” Bugaje told Arise News.

“Some say a carrot and a steak. So the money is the carrot. What’s the steak? I’m not quite sure. Of course, if there are people with records in the EFCC, they may invert in them.

“They might do these kinds of things. And this has been the practice right from the time of President Obasanjo. So, this might be, but I think the essential thing is basically money.

“And for me, this is a very serious issue, and this should be the center of our conversation in politics because for as long as money is going to be the determining factor, you know, then that’s the end of democracy, and that’s the end of politics.”

Recall that in response to the defection, the PDP, through the acting national chairman, Umar Damagum, said  first of all, they were not expecting the mass defections in Delta State.

He then said that the next election will not be determined by the number of governors in a party, but will be between the people and the APC, adding that it would be an opportunity to punish the ruling party for the pain that is inflicted on the country.

Speaking further on the reaction of the PDP, Bugaje said, “There has not been opposition right from the time the minister Wike did what he did. I mean, basically PDP has lost that opportunity to become an opposition party.

“Look at how members behaved in the last big issue of emergency rule, in the parliament, look at what they did when it came to the budgeting to so many other things.

“So really, there is no opposition party.”
