Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Governor, Babangida Aliyu of Niger State has advised the leadership of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against encouraging the return of members who had previously defected to other political parties.<\/p>\n

Aliyu, who stated this at a PDP Consultative Conference, held on Wednesday in Abuja, described those who left the party as \u2018nomadic politicians\u2019 contributing to the PDP crisis.<\/p>\n

He recalled that during the party\u2019s national convention in Port Harcourt, a significant number of candidates who emerged were nomadic politicians.<\/p>\n

The former governor urged the party hierarchy to learn from history. \u201cBoth the chairman and the chairman of governors\u2019 forum have been very diplomatic and saying \u2018come back, come back.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you don\u2019t invite nomadic politicians back to your party. These were people with a history of nomadism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Aliyu attributed the party\u2019s major problems, dating back to 2013 to 2014, to lack of discipline and the prioritisation of selfish interests over the collective good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot keep on, knowing that the black sheep in the family keeps on destroying whatever we are building. And then you say, \u2018come back\u2019. In fact, the most shocking time period was 2019,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The former governor stressed the need for rewarding party loyalists rather than those who frequently move from one party to another.<\/p>\n

Aliyu reminded members that the PDP constitution clearly stipulated that defectors should \u201cjoin the queue\u201d upon return.<\/p>\n

He urged the party to focus on fostering \u201creal, principled politics,\u201d even if it didn\u2019t immediately translate into electoral victory.<\/p>\n
