The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, John Odigie-Oyegun, has told members that everyone
that matters in Nigerian politics is still in the APC.
Oyegun said this while assuring
members of the party that the exit of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar will
not affect it in anyway.
Atiku officially returned to the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the weekend after resigning his membership
from the ruling APC a week before.
The APC chief spoke on Tuesday in
Abuja when the Association of former Chairmen, Councillors and Ward Leaders paid
him a visit in Abuja.
Oyegun also said that Atiku’s
exit from the party would not lead to massive defection from APC.
He said, “Let nobody fear that
the defection of the former Vice President is going to lead to any deluge.
“Don’t ever be afraid that there
is going to be any massive defection. As a matter of fact, the contrary is the
case, APC is growing in strength on a daily basis,“ he said.
He told members of the
association not to be deceived by, “the screaming and opposition rhetoric“,
adding that “everybody that mattered in the country, politically, was a member
of APC.”
He added that there was no other
party that was truly settled outside APC.
