A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu has stated why former Bayelsa Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television, monitored by DAILY POST on Friday, Momodu stated that Murray-Bruce moving to APC was not surprising, stressing that that was where the road was smooth at the moment.
The Ovation Magazine publisher said that those of them in the opposition are being regarded as very stupid.
On Murray-Brace defection, Momodu said, “I watched it in utter disbelief because I assumed that he worked with us with the Atiku campaign during the presidential election. That’s my belief and maybe my judgment was wrong.
“However, I give him the right enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria about freedom of association and freedom of movement. So, I don’t have any problem with it. Nothing can ever shock me again about politicians.
“Some people have genuine reasons to move from one party to another, especially if you have some aspirations which we believe will be better served in the next party.
“So Murray-Bruce moving to the APC is not surprising; that is where the road is smooth at the moment. Those of us in opposition are regarded as very stupid and not smart enough for not joining the rat race.”
