Oshiomhole Blast APC Defectors, Says They Have No ‘Electoral Value’

Unlike President Muhammadu Buhari, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, didn’t hold back while speaking about lawmakers who defected from the party to opposition, Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.

The apparently infuriated Oshiomhole described the estranged members of APC as big masquerades without electoral values.

According to him, Nigerians will go to the poll very soon and the outcome will reveal clearly that the defectors do not constitute any threat to APC, alleging that defectors are those who cannot adjust to the change being championed by the APC government.

He said the business of governance should be driven by men and women of honour and not by those who are more pre-occupied with personal interests, adding that the earlier such persons took their exit from the party the better.

“The business of governance must be driven by men and women of honour. If it’s about ‘me,’ the earlier those pursuing personal gains leave the better. We will go for campaign… These people, the votes they got in 2015, and the president got more votes from their constituencies. There were big masquerades with no electoral value,” Oshiomhole stated.

The party’s National Publicity, Abdullahi, tried to calm nerves, saying despite the defections the party was still in the majority.

President Buhari, also in his reaction to the defection told APC members that the defectors can do no harm or injury to the party.
