According to Attah, Saraki’s reasons for defecting to the APC makes no sense and showed his level of ‘selfishness.’

Speaking with the Sun, the former Governor also noted that political parties in Nigeria lack ideologies and are mere platforms.
He predicted that the defectors will face a break and very cold political winter.
Attah added, “All these defections, which some people think is in defence of democracy, is actually not.
“I have looked at the reasons why these things are happening. For instance, you look at the statement made by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on why he defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“He is quoted to have said, and he has not denied it that ‘the Federal Government appointed over 200 persons into juicy offices without allotting any to me or Dogara; everything went to Katsina and Lagos.
“‘If not for the love I had for Nigeria, we would have scattered everything.’ Tell me where the moral is in this? Tell me where the protection of the nation and her citizens are in that?
“I don’t see it. These are all individualistic and selfish reasons; he is saying, ‘I am going because I didn’t get what I wanted, so I am going somewhere I believe I can get what I want.’
“But let me tell you something, some of these defectors, whether they believe it or not, are going to face a bleak and very cold political winter. That is my prediction and I don’t think I will be wrong.
“The political parties, if they ever had any ideology or philosophy has lost them, they are just platforms, that is why people are just jumping from one party to the other without thinking of where they are going and a country without a sense of direction, purpose, morality or focus is just going to go to the dogs, and we must not allow that to happen.”
