Peter Obi’s Defection Does Not Bother APC – Yilwatda

Peter Obi

The National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nantewe Yilwatda, has said that the party is unconcerned about Peter Obi’s defection from ADC to NDC. He recently had his say in Abuja during the ongoing purchase and submission of APC nomination and expression of interest forms for the 2027 elections.

Describing the defection of about 18 National Assembly members from ADC to NDC as insignificant, Yilwatda revealed that opposition parties should resolve their internal disputes that have nothing to do with APC.

Nantewe added that the large turnout amid the party’s ongoing sale of nomination forms reflects Nigerians’ growing support for the APC.

His words, “If someone defects from ADC to NDC or another opposition party, that does not affect APC.

Let them sort out their problems. APC remains solid and we are moving forward with strong numbers.

You talked about NDC. When people join APC, they claim we paid them, but when they defect among themselves, nobody says anything.

None of those defecting is from our party. They are fishing from the same pond.”

WOW.
