It described those who defected as moles in the party. PDP’s state chairman, Tanko Beji, said that the party was not moved by the series of defections in the last week, adding that “the defectors are good riddance to bad rubbish.”
Enagi, Baka, Sudan and the PDP state treasurer, Ibrahim Ibeto, and one time president of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) and former minister of sports, Alhaji Sani Ndanusa, dumped the party recently.
Reacting, Beji said: “Those that left the party are lone rangers who cannot command 10 supporters in their various wards. The former chairman, the governorship aspirants, treasurer are unpopular Abuja politicians."
