    Ex-governor Aliyu Sounds Alarm on ‘Nomadic Politicians’ Joining PDP

    1/ Former Niger State governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu warns the PDP against re-inviting "nomadic politicians" those who defect from party to party for personal gain.

    2/ He emphasizes that party loyalty matters, stressing that those who switch allegiances shouldn’t be given special privileges. 

    3/ Aliyu pointed to the emergence of the ADC coalition, clarifying he remained at a PDP stakeholders meeting—not joining the new alliance. 

    4/ Specifically, he stated:

    “I remain a member of the Peoples Democratic Party … I am still with the PDP. If it becomes necessary, I could decide what to do. But as of now, I am still with the PDP.”

    5/ His message comes amid internal PDP debate over former members returning, especially after recent defections and coalition talks. 

    6/ Aliyu’s stance reflects broader tension: Makarfi’s earlier warning that the party will neither offer special treatment nor forget loyalty. 

    7/ Why it matters: In the lead-up to the 2027 elections, PDP veterans are eyeing big moves, either staying or joining emerging coalitions.

    8/ The key question:
    Can PDP balance openness with loyalty?
    Inviting defectors risks undermining party cohesion, something Aliyu clearly opposes.


    TL;DR:
    Former governor Babangida Aliyu urges PDP leaders to avoid embracing political defectors as insiders. He reaffirms his loyalty and insists that credibility and commitment trump opportunism in political partnerships.
