Senate minority leader, Biodun Olujimi, has said she will never defect to another political party from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of her personal principles and values as a politician.<\/p>\n
She also said the PDP had a certain liveliness that is missing in other political parties in the country.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker added that many of those who left the party for others may not be satisfied where they are.<\/p>\n
Olujimi, who represents Ekiti South district in the National Assembly, stated this in an interview reported with NewTelegraph newspaper.<\/p>\n
When Asked if she would leave the PDP following her defeat at the 2019 general elections, she replied: \u201cI am someone, who is grounded. I can never defect and the reason is simple. One must be known for honour, integrity, and steadfastness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the party, where I have achieved a lot. Why do I need to change it for another?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat am I looking for than to serve my people and if they don\u2019t want to be served, what do I do?<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no party like PDP. The truth is that it is the liveliest party, we are always there for one another and we support each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is really difficult to leave PDP for another party; it is the party that is ready to listen to the views of every member. We are trying to get our members back.<\/p>\n
Olujimi further said she and other like-minded politicians in Ekiti have started a rebuilding process of the PDP in the state to take over power in 2022.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you like it or not, when a new government comes, as the head, they sweep everything away, but we are going to sweep the polls next time around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
