PDP chieftain Babangida Aliyu has dismissed rumours he is planning to defect from the party and pitch his tent with the APC.

The former Niger state governor made this disclosure after the defection of 34,826 PDP members -most of them Aliyu’s allies- to other political parties.

“I have no intention of defecting to the APC because I believe in the PDP. I had the opportunity of decamping to the APC when I led the G-7 Governors but did not do so because of my belief in the PDP.

“What we protested then was to correct some of the abnormality in PDP but not to defect to the APC.

“If I were a selfish politician then I will have defected to the APC then. Maybe I would have become a minister now,’’ he said.

He pointed out that he became a state governor on the platform of the PDP and believes the wranglings that cost it the 2015 elections are things of the past.

noted that the PDP made him a governor, saying that it was a strong political party if not for internal wrangling that made it to lose the 2015 election.

The former governor said that the party had started working toward correcting the wrongs at the various levels.

On the herders/farmers clashes across the country, he said the federal government has to see it as a threat and immediately draw up a plan to eradicate it.

He advised the government to establish cattle ranches where necessary and carry the stakeholders along in order to avoid misunderstanding that would result in more clashes.
