The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will welcome former President Goodluck Jonathan if he decides to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the ruling party.

Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, the spokesman of the APC, said this on Wednesday, September 15, when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television.

Legit.ng gathers that Akpanudoedehe said if the Nigerian ex-president defects to their fold, it will strengthen the party’s structure.

His words:

“I am hearing that for the first time that we are expecting the former President. That will be great news. We will welcome him; that will also strengthen the party."
Akpanudoedehe also said the party was expecting more governors from the PDP to join the APC before December, The Punch reported.

The APC spokesman was also asked if the ruling party would pick Jonathan as its presidential candidate should he join its fold.

In his response, Akpanudoedehe neither confirmed nor opposed it.

Rather, he said the ruling party has a special waiver for new members, including the privilege of vying for any political office in the country.

As the 2023 election draws closer, there are speculations that the ex-president might dump the PDP for the APC and that he is also considering contesting for the presidential seat.
