NDC Accuses APC of Bribing Members to Defect

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) alleged that some of its members who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) were bribed by the ruling party. The NDC's National Publicity Director, Osa Director, stated that the defections were viewed as good riddance to bad rubbish.

The NDC accused the APC of using desperate tactics, including offering money and political appointments, to lure politicians away from their party. The NDC expressed that those who accepted the APC's inducements lacked the values and ideological commitment associated with the party.

In response to the defections, the NDC announced plans to conduct fresh congresses to elect new candidates for the 2027 elections, asserting that the defections would not impact the party's prospects. The NDC reassured its members and supporters that these actions by the APC were the last efforts of a failing party, emphasizing its commitment to providing good governance and a better future for Nigeria.
