Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, has said that he won’t be joining Atiku Abubakar and David Mark in the African Democratic Congress.
He recently revealed his stance during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Speaking to the press, Moro disclosed that despite the lingering crisis in the PDP, he doesn’t intend to dump the party for the coalition.
According to him, he has no reason to leave the PDP for the ADC right now because he doesn’t even believe in politics of gang-ups.
“I don’t subscribe to politics of gang-ups and all these shenanigans. I am comfortable in PDP and have no reason to leave.
If something is going wrong in a democracy, there are two options. Either we put our heads together, try to constructively engage the ruling party to right the wrongs and rebuild this country and make it great again, or we move to a different platform to see how we can wrest power from the ruling party.
Those who have gone to the ADC have chosen the latter option of picking a platform to wrest power from the ruling party. How far they can go is all for conjecture. But I am not joining them.
I can assure you that where I am is also getting stronger. And I can also tell you that I can provide some level of resistance,” he said.
He further noted that while those who have left had their personal reasons for exiting, he wants to stay at PDP to fix the party’s problems.
Moro concluded by saying that despite his long-standing political relationship with Atiku and David Mark, he is more than happy to remain a PDP member.
“Well, the reality on ground is that I’m not following. That is the truth about the matter. I am comfortable in PDP and I have no reason to leave the party now or in the near future.
No matter what people say about the crisis and the division in PDP, we and other leaders of the party will stay behind and fix it. But those who have left have their reasons for leaving.
Don’t forget that we still have two former Senate Presidents and many ex-governors already still in the PDP. They are not walking away. Sometimes, some of these exits are good riddance to bad rubbish because some of them may have been responsible for the crisis we have in this party today,” he added.
