Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has warned those changing their membership of political parties to desist from it.
He said such action was capable of derailing the country’s democracy.
Tukur, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador-at-large, expressed misgivings on the state of instability in political parties in Nigeria, especially with unrestrained manner of defections by members of different parties in the country.
He said the trend, which has already been making mockery of Nigeria’s politics, was capable of derailing democracy if not checked on time.
He also warned against granting waivers to defectors, adding that such actions would not help in building loyalty among politicians.
