Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said he will consider defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Bola Tinubu can fulfil all his conditions.
Naijaonpoint reports that Abaribe, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, stated that the first condition would be a reversal of policies that penalise Nigerians.
The lawmaker stressed that President Tinubu must reduce the size of his government and rein in all those around him.
According to Abaribe, Nigeria is a democracy, not a monarchy, and governance must be carried out in line with democratic principles.
When asked if he would defect to the APC if President Tinubu called him, Abaribe said: “I will give him all the conditions and he can fulfil it. First of all, you must see all your policies, all the policies that punish Nigerians, you reverse them. That is number one.
“Number two, you cut down your government. Number three, you reign in all the people around you. Number four, there are so many things we will tell him.
“It’s up to him what he’s going to do. If you don’t run a government the way it is run… This is not a monarchy. This is a democracy.
“If there’s anybody that’s going to defect to APC, I think I should be the very, very last one. By the time I will defect, that means that there will be no parties in Nigeria.”
