A frontline member of the All Progressives Congress and lawmaker
representing the Kwara Central Senatorial District at the National
Assembly, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has admitted that there are a lot of
“goodies” in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.
Following the defection of the ex-Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, from the APC to the PDP, Saraki's online followers had been prodding him to ascertain his political future.
The former Kwara State Governor said on Twitter that his decision to defect from the PDP to the APC wasn't an easy one.
But Saraki assured his followers that despite the enticing and pleasing offers in the PDP, he would stay put in the APC to actualise his political ambitions.
“I stand committed furthering the Nigerian project through the progressive platform of the APC. Together, we will take back Nigeria for Nigerians. My decision to leave the ruling party wasn't so easy. That is where all the goodies are. But one has to do what is right for the people,” Saraki stated on his Twitter page.
He added that he was ready to make “any ultimate sacrifice” to ensure that Nigeria improves, adding that his love for country was over personal ambitions.
The lawmaker further urged Nigerians to avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the Independent National Electoral Commission, and register to get a permanent voters' card.
“We only have this country to call home. Do you still need a reason to register to vote? Remember your vote affects price of everything from garri, fish to petrol. All you need is register to get a permanent voters' card. You will use your vote to checkmate us,” Saraki said.
