Those Defecting From PDP To APC Are Political Harlots..House Of Reps Member

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, following the latter’s nationwide victory in the presidential ,National Assembly and gubernatorial elections across the country have been advised to return to the PDP to help rebuild the party.
Making the appeal in Lagos,a PDP member of the House of Representatives representing Ondo East-Ondo West Federal Constituency, Hon Joseph Akinlaja, implored the defected PDP members to have a rethink of their action, adding that the defeat of the party at the polls didn’t mean that the party had collapsed.
“PDP is still very much alive. PDP is not dead. PDP will rise again. Our defeat during the elections by APC should not discourage PDP members. Defection is not then answer. The best thing for all of us to do is to re-strategies, and come back as a formidable political party to challenge APC with a view of becoming the ruling party again”, he declared.
While saying the PDP will strive to become a stronger political party, he told the defectors:
“I don’t want the defectors to see politics as bread and butter affair alone. Politics is also about principle . Why should you cross carpet or defect simply because your party lost an election? Election is about losing and winning. When you win, you celebrate and when you lose it is not the end of the world, you only need to go back to the drawing board to plan for the future. If you jump ship anytime your party have challenges or lost an election,then you are a political harlot, and that is not good for your image”.
