Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal today stated that the love of the country takes priority in his heart.
Besides, Tambuwal posited that, but for the fact that himself alongside other members of the lower legislative chamber, defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), they would have been richer politicians.
The Speaker however argued that for the love of Nigeria and the need to turn the country around for good, they took the decision to move away from the PDP and join the progressive-minded APC.
Tambuwal in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Imam Imam,
claimed that the PDP had not done much for the country since it assumed control of its leadership in 1999.
According to the statement, "Many patriotic Nigerians who felt the need to change the course of our country have protested the inept administrative style on this country.
"They made their voices known by abandoning the PDP and teaming up with progressive-minded Nigerians. Remaining in the PDP would have been the easy option for us.
"We would have been richer and would have been enjoying the benefits of being in the same political camp with the Federal Government.
"But we chose a different option because we felt enough is enough. We felt Nigeria deserves better leadership that is why we are in the APC.
"So, a vote for PDP would be undignified. We must re-discover our self-worth as a people, we must move the country forward."
