Despite the general discontent by vast majority of Nigerians about the state of the nation under the rule of the All-Progressives Congress its national chairman Nantewe Yilwatda, has claimed that his party is well loved.
He was speaking against the background of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwanso leaving the African Democratic Congress, a development which has sparked a wave of defections to the Nigeria Democratic Congress where Obi and Kwankwanso had pitched their tents.
“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.
“Nigerians are happy with what the APC is doing. They love and accept the party across all geopolitical zones. We are encouraged by the large number of people coming out to purchase our forms,” he added.
