“If it is not fit to live in, then our job is to make it fit.” - Fela Anikulapo–Kuti(Afrobeat King)
Who Defection Epp?
Party defection is common in Nigerian politics. Politicians defect to opposition parties when their interests are threatened or are no longer protected by their political party.
Recently, there was mass defection of lawmakers and governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The reverse of what happened in 2014.
