Nigerian Politics Grapples with Rising Wave of Defections

The article discusses the prevalent trend of political defections in Nigeria, highlighting how it has become a norm for politicians to switch parties for personal gain rather than ideological reasons. Recent defections of key figures like Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor Ifeanyi Okowa in Delta State, as well as Governor Douye Diri in Bayelsa State, have sent shockwaves through the political scene.
