It Is Immoral For You To Decamp To The Opposition Party, PDP Tells Members

The Peoples Democratic Party has
told its members decamping to the main opposition party, APC that it is
uncalled for and very immoral of them to decamp to the opposition simply
because they lost the presidential election.

Olisa Metuh, the National
Publicity Secretary of the party, while speaking with journalists yesterday in
Abuja and answering questions about why thousands of the party members have
been decamping to APC, Metuh said he wonders why party members should resolve
into that and wonders what those decamping will teach their children about
morals. His words after the cut.

“It is right for anyone to defect
or move because the Constitution allows for free association. But basically, it
is immoral for someone to leave his party because we lost the presidential
election few days ago.

“It is about the character. Yes,
you have the constitutional right to move or defect, but what lesson do you
want to teach your children?

“Just because we have lost the
presidential election? Yes, we want members (in our party) but not
fiddle-minded people.

“We want people who are committed,
but the fair weather people are free to leave us. Those who are committed will
still be with us.”
