There Is Nothing To Put Us In Embarrassment – APC Reacts As ADC Orders Members To Quit Current Political Parties

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to a directive from the opposition coalition, which calls for all its members to resign from their current political parties and join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) fully.

Naija News reports that the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, had announced the directive in Abuja on Thursday following a caucus meeting that included senior party leaders and prominent political figures.

Reacting to the development while speaking with Punch, the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, stated that the ruling party is not alarmed by the development, noting that they frequently welcome defectors from other political parties.

Ibrahim said, “This is nothing to frighten or put the APC in any state of embarrassment. As a matter of fact, the political atmosphere has given people room to realign. Don’t forget, the APC has been receiving an influx of people who are leaving their parties and joining the APC. So, people are at liberty to change sides and change signs as they wish.

“But I assure you, the APC will only grow in strength. If some leave, others will join, just as others are already joining.

“So, we are not bothered. We’re not bothered. We’re just at our strength. In the last elections, the recently concluded by-elections, it is clear that the ADC does not have the strength to rattle the APC. So, this is nothing to give the APC sleepless nights. You will soon see more people joining from other political parties, including from the ADC.”
