The
All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed shock over the defection
of some of its members in Ogun State to another party, but said the
defection will not affect the overall chances of the party in the
forthcoming polls
In
a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the shock stemmed from
the fact that efforts are ongoing to reconcile the aggrieved members in
the Ogun State Chapter, hence it was expected that they will give room
for the efforts to yield fruits.
It expressed the hope that the defecting party members will reconsider their decision and beat a quick retreat.
''Yes,
the defection of some our members will create some challenges for our
party, but we will go back to the drawing board to re-strategize and
redouble our efforts to retain the state in 2015.
''Every
member of our party is important to its overall success, but none is
more important than the party. Against this background, no member can
hold the party into ransom,'' it said.
APC
said it is a mere fallacy for anyone to conclude that the defection of
some members, irrespective of their self importance, will dramatically
alter the chances of the party in 2015, and therefore urged its members
in Ogun State not to lose any sleep over the latest development.
