Aminu Tambuwal, the former Governor of Sokoto State, has voiced his disappointment and concern over the recent defections of members from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to reporters after the Northwest Zonal meeting of the PDP at Hotel 17 in Kaduna on Saturday, Tambuwal suggested that the defections were driven by “stomach infrastructure” rather than genuine concern for the people’s interests.

“People leave parties for certain reasons or for different reasons, but what I have been observing in the past are defections not based on the interest of the people but based on stomach infrastructure(six)”, Tambuwal said.
He added, “If you are talking about defecting in the interest of the people, I believe no one can go to the APC. If you are a politician with conscience, with the current policies being driven by the government of the APC and the current economic doldrum that the APC has driven Nigerians into hardship across the country and the dismal performance of the Tinubu’s administration, there is nothing attractive outside stomach infrastructure.
Tambuwal, who represents the Sokoto South Senatorial District in the Senate, questioned the reasons behind the defections, asserting that no politician with a clear conscience would align with the APC given its current policies and the economic difficulties Nigerians are facing.
“So, those based on stomach infrastructure are not worrisome. It is for all of us who believe in this country; who believe in the service of the people to continue to come together and work out something that will ensure that by 2027, we ease out this administration that lacks focus, that has no compassion; that do not have any direction and that is riderless,” he added.
The senator called on like-minded Nigerians to unite and work towards ensuring that the APC is voted out of power by 2027.
