A member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Abia State, Prince Benjamin Apugo said that members of the National Assembly lawmakers of the APC stock who defected from APC last week to other parties will regret their actions.
Speaking at his Nkata Ibeku country home, Umuahia, Apugo who was a prominent member of nPDP said despite the defection by few of its members, the group’s agreement with APC was still intact.
Apugo said that most of those who left APC to other parties particularly PDP are not only morally bankrupt, but also do not have electoral value.
“All of us left PDP because of the high level of impunity and the looting of the nation’s treasury that was the hallmark of the party.
“Those who defected back to PDP from APC, what will they tell their people? I’m not sure they consulted with those they are representing because most of them are going to encounter problems with their constituents.
“As for APC, the defections will not have any bearing on the party. Apart from the fact that some of them have started returning, those who will not have no electoral value, they cannot win election in their wards, therefore, APC has nothing to lose.”
While reassuring that majority members of nPDP have not only not defected, but also are committed to ensuring that President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected for a second term in office.
Apugo urged the leadership of the party led by comrade Adams Oshiomhole not to succumb to the antics of some politicians whom he said have nothing to offer APC other than their selfish interests
He assured President Buhari of Igbo votes in 2019 and urged him to continue with the rehabilitation of roads in the state. This is also as he drew the attention of the president to the Umuahia/Ikot Ekpene highway which he said is in very bad condition.
The APC chieftain said the party in the Abia state was very much intact; stressing that they were ready to take over the state in 2019 from PDP which he said has nothing to offer people of the state.
