APC to Welcome Over 10,000 Defectors from Other Parties
The All Progressives Congress (APC) announced plans to receive more than 10,000 defectors from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). This was disclosed in a statement by Abimbola Tooki, Special Adviser to the APC National Chairman, following a visit by executive members of the Maji Johnson Bello (MJB) Movement to the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.
The formal defection ceremony is expected to take place soon. Comrade Jibrin Bancir, Personal Private Secretary to APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, described the development as a sign of increasing confidence in the ruling party and President Bola Tinubu's administration.
He assured that mechanisms would be established for the seamless integration of the new members into the APC structures, emphasizing grassroots participation. Maji Johnson Bello stated that the movement's decision to join the APC was based on their support for President Tinubu's economic reforms.
