The National Chairman of the
governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said that he
is happy that some members of the Senate and House of Representatives left his
party for opposition parties.
We had earlier reported how 15
senators and 37 members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday left the
APC. Majority joined the PDP.
Mr Oshiomhole, who spoke with
State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on
Tuesday, said those who left are “mercenaries” who were in APC just to win
election.
He said the governing party is
“not disturbed at all” and that he is not losing sleep over the defections.
Mr Oshiomhole also said it is
good that those who never believed in the APC are leaving ahead the
electioneering activities because that would enable the party concentrate on
its campaigns.
He said those who defected cannot
affect the electoral fortunes of APC because President Muhammadu Buhari got
more votes than them in their own constituencies in the last election.
He described the defectors as
right wing politicians who believe in the philosophy of “share the money” and
did not belong to the progressives group.
He said even while they were in
the APC, they constituted themselves as opposition to the governing party.
