APC Reacts As Mystery Trails Identity Of Ex-Governor Saraki Says Is Defecting

As mystery has continued to trail the identity of the former All Progressives Congress, APC governor that is set to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the ruling party has debunked the prediction that was given by former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Senator Saraki, himself a former Senate President and former governor had claimed that several bigwigs in the APC would soon defect to the PDP. He had equally said that a former governor in the APC would in fact join the PDP this week.

Mystery over the identity of the former governor has continued to swirl.

Saraki who said so in a television interview also used the interview to firmly deny claims that he would himself return to the APC.

Saraki had said: “There were certain governors that we already know that will leave. And we were not surprised that they defected to the APC. Since then, we have had some bigwigs that joined us. Also this week, there is a former governor that is going to join our party, the PDP.

“Aside from that, we know that some of the leaders in the ruling party will not defect early; rather, they will do it late. You saw that during the 2015 elections.

“So, keep watching. Nigerians will not be surprised when they begin to see some defections from the ruling party to the PDP.”

Debunking the claim by the former Senate President, the APC said Saraki was only a victim of wishful thinking.

The National Secretary of APC Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, while saying that Saraki was imagining things said:

“As a political party, we don’t play to the gallery with opposition. We always speak the truth, especially when we are replying to a friend who can still join our party. Mind you, he (Senator Saraki) was one of the founding members of our party, who left for PDP because of power struggle.”

“I want Nigerians to wait and see if what he says will come to pass. Some politicians are forum seekers. They jump from one place to another. All I will say is that Nigerians should watch and see if his (Saraki) prophesy will come to pass or not.

“APC is solid. The speculation of the gale of defections is best described as his (Saraki) imagination.”
