The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has warned politicians not to join the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

According to Akpabio, no sane person would defect to the opposition party.

He stated this during the Senate’s screening of Joash Amupitan as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The statement came after an exchange with the Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, who had observed that nobody contested the results of the last presidential election conducted in Ghana.

Akpabio replied him noting that former President Goodluck Jonathan also did not challenge the outcome of the 2015 presidential election conducted by INEC, adding that the Commission had continued to improve over the years.

However, Senator Dickson reminded Akpabio that the 2015 election was held under a PDP-led administration.

Reacting further, Akpabio said, “At that time, PDP was not torn to shreds, but there is no human being that is sane today that can even join such a platform.”
