Former member of the House of Representatives Farouk Aliyu has said those who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress did so due to selfishness.
The APC has been recently hit with a wave of defections by top political heavyweights in the country.
And speaking to Channels TV on Thursday, the former Jigawa lawmaker said if not for personal reasons, the defections would not happen.
“All the people that have defected, defected for personal reasons,” he said.
He also added that “Nobody defects within the first year, defections happen 6 months to election because of platform.”
