Makinde: The Most Significant Defection Is Yet to Come

Against the backdrop of major defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in recent times, Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Ma­kinde, has declared that the most important defection has not yet taken place.

Makinde, in his bi-monthly newsletter is­sued on Thursday, said that while the defections of some PDP governors into the All Progressives Con­gress (APC) might have tak­en over national discourse, Nigerians should focus on when hunger and depriva­tion defect out of Nigeria, as it is only then that pros­perity can return and their pride restored.

According to the gover­nor, Nigerians should pay at­tention to what truly matters and not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by political realignments, which are mere distractions.

The newsletter read in part: “I am sure many of you have been following the recent defections of politicians—especially the governors who have left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progres­sives Congress (APC) and other parties.

“With these defections, political pundits have been busy reading meanings into every handshake and silence. I have watched as our national conversation once again turns to who is moving rather than what is moving.

“For me, the only defec­tion that truly matters is the one that has not hap­pened yet — the defection of hunger.

“When I was asked about this wave of political cross-carpeting in a recent press conference, I said, ‘I will only be moved when hunger defects into the APC.’ I meant every word of it, because while people are busy changing parties, Nigerians are struggling to afford the basic neces­sities.

“Families are being forced to make impossible choices daily. These are the real issues, not political re­alignment.

“We cannot continue pre­tending that everything is fine simply because some­one in the government says so. What we are expe­riencing is the widening of inequality. While the rich are adjusting, the poor are sinking — and that is what must command our atten­tion.

“It is hunger, not parti­sanship, that fuels frustra­tion and hopelessness. Un­til we deal with that, every political drama will remain a distraction.”
