Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is deeply rooted and will remain so inspite of the recent gale of defections.
A member representing Fika/ Fune Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Alhaji Muhammed Buba-Jajere, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu on Thursday.
According to him, the party remains a strong opposition because it has roots and structures all over the country.
“ The defections are no serious threat to the PDP because the party is firmly established, especially of ideas, beliefs and values.
“ So many people have come into the PDP, others have left. The party has existed for a long time and has become strongly embedded. Therefore, the recent defections won’t change anything in the way ,” he said
Buba-Jajere said that the party has re-strategised in Yobe.
He said:”we have gotten rid of saboteurs and we will emerge victorious come 2027 in the state.
On whether Nigeria was heading to a one-party state, Buba-Jajere said:”it is impossible.
”Nigeria is a large country comprising so many people with different ideologies as well as ethnic and religious backgrounds.
“ It is just impossible to just coerce people into one-party,” Buba-Jajere said.
