Cross Rivers State Governor, Ben Ayade who defected to APC barely two weeks ago has said opposition party (PDP) rejoices in insecurity in Nigeria.
This was part of his message during blueprint newspaper 10th year anniversary and award ceremony monitored by ABN TV.
Ayade added: “I moved into the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of my personal relationship with Mr. President. I have watched him and I find honesty, integrity and I see his wish and commitment to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. To that extent, I have a leader that I trust.
“The increasing insecurity in Nigeria as Nigeria suffers attacks from extraneous aggressors, paid militia and bandits, the opposition party only celebrates that because they believe it gives them a chance to win in 2023.
“So, opposition becomes very cannibalistic. So, you rejoice over the bloodbath in your country, you rejoice over the level if insurgency and killings in your country just because you are playing opposition.
“The country is snowballing into a civil strife. We need to come together and support Mr. President to overcome the insurgency which is characterized by external militias who are paid for the purpose.”
