APC Advises PDP Supporters to Remain in Opposition

By Correspondent

The Southeast caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has enjoined chieftains of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), making frantic efforts to join the APC to reconsider their steps in the interest of multi-party democracy. Spokesperson of the caucus, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, who made the call while reacting to the recent resignation of former president of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani, from PDP, said it would be in the interest of Nigeria’s democracy for those who had their day in PDP to stay back and salvage it. Nnamani had on Saturday announced his resignation from the PDP. Although he failed to announce whether he was joining the APC, he said he would continue to support government in the desire to serve the country. One notable politicians in the state, Chief Gbazuagu Nweke, also joined the APC the same day. Last month, former governor of the old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, led some members of the PDP to join the APC in what many have described as mass exodus in the Enugu PDP. Okechukwu explained that although, as a political party, the APC would not reject prospective members, it would be better “if those who used PDP to loot Nigeria, should remain in PDP”, adding that the frenzy of unbridled defections could plunge Nigeria into a one-party state. Speaking on the entry of Gbazuagu into APC, Okechukwu stated that Gbazuagu was a foundation member of the party, stressing that being a governorship candidate of All Peoples Party (APP) in 1999 before proceeding on political sabbatical, he cannot be called a defector.
