Umar Sani, former Special Assistant on Media to ex–Vice President Namadi Sambo, says the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to the All Progressives Congress, APC, will not shake the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Sani said this on Wednesday in an interview on Arise Television, describing Mbah’s move as swimming against the tide.

The PDP chieftain also dismissed reports of an internal crisis rocking the PDP, insisting that the party’s current challenges were externally induced.

“I can assure you that the defection of Mbah to APC will not rattle the PDP because he is swimming against the tide.

“The PDP is not even shaken or even bothered by all this induced crisis within the party. I say induced crisis because we know it is the voice of Jacob and the hand of Esau.

“What is happening within the party is something that is coming from outside the party, using some instruments within the party to create some type of confusion and chaos,” he said.

According to him, while there may be leadership issues at the party’s national level, the PDP remains firmly rooted in the states, particularly Enugu, where he maintained the party’s dominance remains unshaken.
