The defecting of some politicians from their parties is a great
cause of concern. The fact that those
leaders have no qualms abouthopping from
one party to the nextshows - in my
opinion that first they are not
independent and second they did not join theirparties because they believed in what that party stood forbutbecause of its lucrativeness or worse still, the leader of the party
belonged to their tribe or one that they loved .
Political leaders should not rush in joining political
parties, they shouldfirst assess and
see which political party has objectivesthat go in linewith what they
believe in. They should autonomously choose the parties they want glamour and glitter
notwithstanding. Politicians should not be capricious so that they can obtain
trustwith the people they want to
serve.
