I Am Happy The Mercenaries Have Left APC - Oshiomhole Reacts To Defection by CilicMarin(op): 2:57pm On Jul 24, 2018
The National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said that he is happy that some members of the Senate and House of Representatives left his party for opposition parties.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how 15 senators and 36 members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday left the APC. Majority joined the PDP.

Mr Oshiomhole, who spoke with State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, said those who left are “mercenaries” who were in APC just to win election.

He said the governing party is “not disturbed at all” and that he is not losing sleep over the defections.

Mr Oshiomhole also said it is good that those who never believed in the APC are leaving ahead the electioneering activities because that would enable the party concentrate on its campaigns.

He said those who defected cannot affect the electoral fortunes of APC because President Muhammadu Buhari got more votes than them in their own constituencies in the last election.

He described the defectors as right wing politicians who believe in the philosophy of “share the money” and did not belong to the progressives group.

He said even while they were in the APC, they constituted themselves as opposition to the governing party.

Only an idiotic pig will rejoice over this defections...Those People Have always been PDP since Saraki and Dogara became speaker.

1..Rabi’u Kwankwaso (Kano-Central)

Already displaced by his State Governor, Granduje. He hasn't stepped into Kano State for the past 2 years..

2. Dino Melaye (Kogi-West)
Already displaced by his State Governor, Bello. He can't win any election in Kogi State.

3. Adesoji Akanbi (Oyo-South)
Displaced by His Governor Ajimobi. He cannot get return ticket under APC.

4.Monsurat Sunmonu (Oyo-Central)

The same as No. 3 above. She defected to ADC anyway.

5.Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara-South)

Anywhere Saraki faces..So non issue.

6.Suleiman Hunkuyi (Kaduna-North)

Already displaced by his State Governor Elrufai. Can't get ticket under APC.

7. Lanre Tejuoso (Ogun-Central)
Already replaced by his Governor Amosu. No chance of getting return ticket under APC.

8. Usman Nafada (Gombe)
Displaced during APC state convention in Gombe State. He can't get return ticket under APC.

9[b]. Ibrahim Dambaba (Sokoto)[/b]
Wants to follow his Governor to PDP.

10.Mohammed Shittu (Jigawa)
Displaced by his State Governor.

11.Isa Misau (Bauchi)

Displaced by his state governor.

12.Suleiman Nazif (Bauchi)
The same as No 10 Above.

13.Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara)
Anywhere Saraki goes.

14. Barnabas Gemade (Benue).

Displaced by George Akume faction of APC. Can't get ticket under APC.

15.Senator Abdul-Azeez Murtala-Nyako (Adamawa)

Displaced by the Governor, Bindow. Can't get ticket under APC. He defected to ADC anyway.

So from above analysis, it is all about political survivals and has nothing to do with opposing Buhari, unlike in 2015, where people defected because Jonathan.

Above All, more than 10 of them are not coming back to the Senate..

Political Lessons, free of charge!

At this point I can only but think that the APC used saraki to know those members who are not completely standing with them..

If saraki is bent on pulling the APC down, he should have defected today as well....

The APC just dehauled its system..

Note : I am neither a supporter of any of the parties

This is the case of a cricket roasting in fire and rejoicing that it's shedding oil. Una never see anything.

Nairalanders show me some love abeg, today na my born day, and luckily it coincided with the new date of democracy day in Nigeria as Saraki floors the dullard once again

Only the foolish ones are happy with the current transfer window. They're always on transfer for their own selfish interest not for the country interest. Our politicians should always stay to fight for what they believe not jumping around. I still dey wonder the kind of people wey dey support people like Atiku wey dey change party anytime the primary doesn't favour him. grin

APC and PDP are the same. The only difference is the spelling
Re: I Am Happy The Mercenaries Have Left APC - Oshiomhole Reacts To Defection by ObaIgwe1: 3:06pm On Jul 24, 2018
I sincerely want a strong opposition against APC so that whoever wins will sit tight and work for the masses.

But many of the Senators and Reps are not political heavyweights in charge of their states.

Many of them even won because they belong to the party of their Governor or the president.

When APC have 16 or less state governors, then I know they have a strong opposition.

For now, Oshiomole can still talk tough and laugh. No real victory in sight yet for PDP and other opposition.
Re: I Am Happy The Mercenaries Have Left APC - Oshiomhole Reacts To Defection by seunmsg(m): 3:06pm On Jul 24, 2018
There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Those that left were never really in APC before. They are back to base now and it's better for all the parties.
