AHEAD of the 2023 general elections, body of aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed concern over defections that have hit the party in recent weeks.

The group, under the auspices of APC360, called on presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to urgently set measures to halt the massive defection of members, especially aspirants to other political parties.

Members of the group, consisting of aspirants who paid to participate and vie for various elective posts at the parties primaries from the 36 states of the federation and Abuja, raised the alarm after an emergency meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

National secretary of the group, Chris Enoch, in a statement, said supporters of the APC were deeply concerned about the fact that the party hierarchy has still not arrested the situation.

Aside thousands of supporters at states level, more than eight senators have dumped the APC, including the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. At the House of Representatives, more than 25 lawmakers have also jumped ship.

According to Enoch, as critical stakeholder, the group cannot close its eves against the dangerous trend sweeping away party members like the flood of Mesopotamia.

The group said: ”it is also hazardous and harmful to the health and wealth of our great party, particularly when we are preparing for a national election.

“We as members of the only pressure group that has invested in this great party through the direct purchase at expression of interest and nomination forms, etc. are concerned because of our belief that the massive decamping which is being surreptitiously tarried out is planned and calculated to frustrate the coasting to the victory of Tinubu at the in-coming general election by those who have scores to settle with the party or are holding grudges and to this end are working against the party.

The group however, noted that “some of these detection cases are sponsored by some powerful members who feel dissatisfied with the mood and manner by which the party has treated them with the conduct of the primaries while others are borne out of the allegation that the party hierarchy abandoned and relegated them into the background after victory not acknowledging or compensating them for their huge efforts and heavy commitment to the party before victory”

“We as vested stakeholders in the party can no longer stay akimbo and pretend that things are okay while large number of significant members particularly aspirants from 2015, 2013, and 2022 primaries, are decamping to strengthen opposition parties Which give them listening ears”.

The group called on Tinubu to set in motion a strategy that can halt the unwelcome development, adding that as an experienced political master and strategist who understands the the devastating consequences of subterfuge, “you should not sleep or slumber as significant members of the party are decamping in droves.”

The problem is most Nigerians have never seen a functional democracy, or a 24/7 power supply, good roads etc.
And someone suggested
If it was possible to take all of Nigeria to the UK, for a week, (and return them) Nigeria will change permanently".

I add to say some presidential candidates will drop out of the race.
And this is true a lot of Nigerians don't understand the true situation of the country.

Tinubu and his supporters seems totally oblivious of the political chess game these northerners are playing them with the alarming gale of defections away from the APC with Buhari’s former campaign offices now being converted to Atiku’s even in Daura-Kastina with Buhari unconcerned.

Meanwhile; It didn't bother you that of all the Northern Christians in the APC party, none is capable enough to be a Vice Presidential candidate? Then it simply means the APC is a Muslim Party.

Muslim muslim ticket is beyond politics, it is a litmus test for the survival of christianity at the highest level of power in Nigeria.Aside the Muslim-muslim ticket, who, in their right senses, would still vote for APC after witnessing their calamitous govt? Virtually all sectors in the country have collapsed.

Had it been Osinbajo was APC tickets holder, the transfer window would have been less

There’s no Peace for the wicked, his not just wicked, Tinubu is evil

Evil Drug slowpoke

Tinubu's Presidential ambition is dead on arrival. He shot himself when he denied Osibanjo the ticket, he killed his political carrier kpatata when he foolishly and selfishly decided to float a muslim muslim ticket.

He should simply retire to old people's home as that's the only place he will be president.

Tell me how a reasonable should vote Tinubu with all these discrepancies in his life. Age, background, educational certificate, source of wealth, and a lot more.

His followers will tell you that those defecting to PDP are immaterial to the success of the party, forgetting that it their Messiah only 2million vote differences to win Atiku
.

This man will end up breaking the Guinness world record for the biggest wealth transfer in the history of the world. He will end transferring the funds he looked from the government of Lagos state to the electorate that will vote their preferred electoral choices

Tilumbu is working for Atiku but they have failed.

Religion may have done more harm than good to Nigeria. It's the same tool that the political elites have used to concur the masses.

Dem don carry Tinubu handicapped

We Yoruba Christians will vote Peter Obi since Tinubu is on Muslim-Muslim ticket, when MURIC told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians Tinubu supported MURIC on that, so we Yoruba Christians are not fools to vote Muslim-terrorist ticket. We won't vote you to Islamise us.

Aside thousands of supporters at states level, more than eight senators have dumped the APC, including the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. At the House of Representatives, more than 25 lawmakers have also jumped ship.

"They are inconsequential with their one vote. They are IPOB sponsored by Peter Obi." - Throwback

I pray APC will continue to underrate LP until it will be too late.

Tinubu can never becomr the president of this country.. He should rule over his miscreants and nairaland urchins.

I recently defected from APC to Labour party

They choose to live in denier.

Instead of setting things right with aggrieved members,they are busy attacking Obi.

Chief Wailer, you've been spamming thread with this nonsense talk all these while.

Campaign house/office that's given/presented by an individual can be taken back and used for whatever pleases the owner.


In thesame Katsina State, we've read who named his kid after Buhari but later changed it. Does that make every Katsina hate or reject him?

Enough Chief Wailer

Post election emigration is a norm in Nigeria. That is beyond any party control. That is why I like Wike.

AFONJA skull miners and IPOB terrorists will not rule Nigeria.
