The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ini Ememobong, has said that governors who defected from the party will come to regret their actions when the results of the 2027 general elections are announced.
Ememobong made this assertion on Friday during an interview on The Morning Brief, a programme aired on Channels Television and monitored by DAILY POST.
According to him, the PDP is not in denial about its internal challenges but insists that those leaving the party cannot distance themselves from the crisis they now cite as justification for their defection.
“For elections, we acknowledge the fact that there are problems in the PDP, and we are not being irresponsible about that,” Ememobong said.
He noted that the party’s challenges were created by individuals who once held leadership positions within the PDP, stressing that such leaders share responsibility for the current situation.
“We are saying to them that the problems in the PDP concern human beings, and they were leaders of the party at the time when these problems were there,” he stated.
Ememobong added that blaming the party amounts to self-indictment, as those pointing fingers were themselves key actors during the period the crisis emerged.
“So when you’re pointing accusing fingers at the PDP, you are simply having four fingers pointing back at you to say, what did you do when this crisis was there?” he said.
He further argued that defecting governors are merely transferring the same problems to their new political platforms, describing their actions as driven by convenience rather than principle.
“When they say there’s a problem, it means they are also the problem, and we know that they are exporting this problem to wherever they are going. It’s simply a matter of convenience,” Ememobong concluded.
