Defections: ‘We’ve Snatched APC’s Heart And Soul’

The defections of 3 governors, National Publicity Secretary, and over 48 federal lawmakers including Nigeria’s Senate President, amounts to the snatching away of the soul of the All Progressives Congress (APC), claims a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This was according to Mr Felix Obuah, the Rivers State PDP Chairman, who has predicted that the tsunami of defections ripping the APC apart will lead to PDP’s victory in the 2019 presidential election.

Obuah said, “The defectors, who included Senate President, Bukola Saraki; Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed; Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; National Publicity Secretary of APC, Bolaji Abdullahi and a host of some State Assembly members, constitute the ‘heart and soul’ of APC. The development now marks the end of the road for the APC”.

Describing the APC as “visionless, lame duck and has nothing to offer the Nigerians other than poverty, hunger and bloodletting,” the Rivers PDP Chairman asked Nigerians to see the ongoing defections as their imminent exit from the “animal kingdom” that the ruling party has allegedly turned the nation into.

Obuah added that, “This hurricane that is blowing in the APC goes to support the fact that, whatever you sow is what you will reap.

“They came through the backdoor, but Nigerians are now wiser and seeing their true colours. PDP remains the hope for Nigerians and is gearing up to salvage the country, come 2019,” he said.
