The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the purported defection of five PDP governors to its fold.
Mr Olisa Metuh, National Publicity Secretary of the party, in a statement in Abuja, said that the PDP was not perturbed by the development.
As for the All Progressive Congress (APC), we congratulate them on their new entrants.
We also like to recommend to them that a man who brings home ant-infested maggots should not complain if he is visited by lizards.
The PDP is losing no sleep with this cross carpeting because disloyalty is a habit.
"It’s only a matter of time before men who are disloyal to their mother would become disloyal to their step mother. " Metuh said.
He said that the Baraje-led PDP splinter group, which the defected governors belonged, was not recognised by law and could not merge with the APC as was being reported.
Our attention has been drawn to reports from some persons passing off the cross carpeting of a group of former PDP members to the APC as a merger.
"This information is false and is intended to mislead the public."
The party spokesman said that what happened between the group and the APC on Nov. 26, was not a merger.
According to him, you can only talk of a merger where there are two distinct parties.
He added that in the case of the splinter group and APC, there was only one party - the APC and the splinter group, otherwise known as the new PDP, which was never a political party.
This, he said, was established on Oct. 10 by a court ruling.
According to him, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has written to the splinter group that the Alhaji Bamanga Turkur-led PDP was the only recognised party by that name.
