APC Denounces Defections, Says PDP Politicians Should Stay In Their Party

John Oyegun, the national chairman of All
Progressive Congress (APC), said on
Saturday that
the gale of defections by politicians was not
good
for Nigeria’s political development.
Mr. Oyegun, who spoke to newsmen in
Benin
shortly after casting his vote, advised those
defecting to the winning party to rather
form a
formidable opposition to enrich the nation’s
democracy.
“Many opposition party members have
defected to
APC just because they lost out, that is not
good for
political development.
“One would have advised that opposition
members
should stay where they are, and form a
formidable
opposition party.” Mr. Oyegun said.
He described the governorship and houses
of
assembly elections as “the most decent,
orderly and
peaceful” ever conducted in Edo.
Meanwhile, the APC national chairman won
the
election in his polling unit. Oredo East: Ward
2,
Unit 1 Polling Unit, the first time since 1991
when
he was elected governor.
