The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said it cannot prevent politicians from defecting to its fold, describing the recent wave of defections as a reflection of confidence in the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, who stated this in an interview on Arise Television yesterday, was responding to concerns over the growing number of governors joining the APC, including the recent defection of Kano State governor, Abba Yusuf.
What you see is governors who have decided to join our party to identify with this resurging Nigeria that this President is clearly positioning Nigeria to be,” he said.
He added that the APC welcomed new members and would not act as a barrier to politicians seeking to join the party.
Morka said further: “We are happy, we are excited about people who join our party. We cannot be gatekeepers to filter out people who want to join our camp. We don’t do that because it is undemocratic.’’
