Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has thrown a subtle dig at ex-presidential candidate Peter Obi following the latter's criticism of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Obi had dismissed the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State from PDP to the APC as a strong move towards capturing the Southeast region for the APC.

He told newsmen, “Peter Mbah is a good friend of mine. And I believe that as governor, he must have taken his decision based on his own political views and calculations.

“As for the alleged plot to capture the South-East, we are not in a military time when you capture people. You are a leader. You tend to do the right things for them to follow you. So I don’t think anybody is capturing anywhere.

“The government needs to do more if it wants the people to support it.”

In an apparent reaction, Sani wondered why Obi of the Labour Party is bothered about a governor dumping the PDP for the APC.

He shared on X, "Why should a man in LP be angry with a man from PDP who moved to APC? When you knew that most of the People in LP were people who voluntarily migrated from PDP or were forced to leave the PDP. You left Africa for Syria and they left Africa for Spain. You are in Syria with Abure, and you are angry that they left for Spain. You saw the vision and left and they trailed your footsteps. The defectors only divorced the wife you once divorced."
