Defectors from PDP will regret their actions -Yero

    
Governor Mukhtar Yero of Kaduna State on Monday said members of the Peoples Democratic Party, who defected to the All Progressives Ccongress would regret their actions.

Yero, who said this in Kaduna while swearing in his Special Adviser, Political Matters and two permanent secretaries, stressed that the defectors had made a “foolish mistake.”

According to him, the challenges in the PDP are not insurmountable but require continued engagement of all stakeholders for them to be settled amicably.

He said, “It is a foolish mistake to abandon what one has built in search of something uncertain elsewhere. Let me advise you, especially those holding political offices, to remain in one place and regard your position today as ordained by God.

“Tomorrow, we will all be forgotten when new people take over the affairs of leadership; that is part of life. So, do not allow yourselves to be lured or deceived into abandoning your party to join the opposition.”

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Yero’s admonition followed the defection to the APC of prominent PDP members in the state, including two of its past state chairmen.
