CNPP TO APC: Dont Accept More PDP Defectors!




While there is every likelihood of more Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, faithful defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the New Year, the Conference of Nigeria Peoples Party, CNPP, has placed an urgent call on the APC not to admit fresh defectors from the ruling party.
The group argues that the admission of more PDP defectors to the APC fold could bring about a one-party system in the country, which should be avoided.
According to PREMIUM TIMES   , It stated this in  a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, Osita Okechukwu.
Governors Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State and Chibuike Amaechi had hinted that more PDP members and governors would soon leave the party.
Both men were among the five PDP governors who, on November 26, dumped the ruling party for the APC. The other governors were Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara).
Similarly, 37 members of the House of Representatives recently left the PDP for the APC, thus making the latter the majority party in the lower legislative chamber.
There were reports that about 22 senators were getting prepared to dump the ruling PDP, which has dominated the National Assembly since the return of democracy in 1999.
