Video: Defection Of Five Governors Will Bring Sanity To PDP – Lamido

Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has welcomed the defection of the five governors from the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding it will bring sanity to the ruling party.

In an interview with Channels Television, Lamido stated that those who had placed their ambitions above national interest were vandalizing the party which he "cherishes, loves and believes in."

"Our fight was to bring the attention of the party to do the right thing," the Governor said.

Lamido disclosed that his involvement with the nPDP was to cause the party’s leadership to "behave".

"When I’m in the PDP, I’ll do anything with anybody in the world to collaborate to bring sanity into PDP," he added.

Last week the Governor also called the PDP's Chairman Bamanga Tukur a "deadly virus" within the party. 

On November 26, the nPDP announced they joined the APC. Two of the seven governors belonging to the nPDP, Sule Lamido and Babangida Aliyu, said, however, they would stay in the ruling party.
