The lawmaker representing Abia South Senatorial District, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said he will never consider defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Abaribe made this vow on Monday during an appearance on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, monitored by Newspot.
His comments come in the wake of a wave of defections to the ruling party.
Newspot reports that the governors of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Enugu, Delta, Rivers and Taraba states have all left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for APC.
“If there’s anybody that’s going to defect to APC, I think I should be the very last one. By the time I will defect, it means that there will be no political parties in Nigeria including the APC.
“Now ask yourself, in all the states where there are defections, what is going on there? These governors were in the opposition, worked against Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.
“Then all of a sudden, the same governors defect and you hand over the party to them,” he said.
