Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has explained why former Bayelsa Senator Ben Murray-Bruce joined the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Friday, Momodu indicated that Murray-Bruce’s move to APC was not surprising, emphasising that it was where the path was easy at present.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine stated that some of them in the opposition are being regarded as very stupid.

On Murray-Brace’s 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.”
