A member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Board of Trustees (BoT), Mr Ismael Ahmed has said that Nigerians will reject the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) come 2019 general elections.
The APC chieftain stated this during his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday in Abuja.
This was in reaction to the defection of 15 Senators and 37 members of the House of Representatives from the ruling APC on Tuesday.
He said, “Ultimately, I think Nigerians are wiser, what we are interested in is the survival of this platform; Nigerians have rejected PDP over and over again and they will reject it in 2019, God’s willing.
“We are going to mitigate the effect of this defection, if we can stop it, we will and if there are others that we will keep talking to, to come back within the legislature, we will hopefully do that.”
He condemned the insinuation that the lawmakers left because the APC leadership was unable to manage its internal conflicts and that some governors were planning to join the PDP.
“Man management in its entirety is something that needs a certain level of craftsmanship which I think the new national chairman (Adams Oshiomhole) is bringing to the fore and he has been going about.
“When people have made up their minds that this is what they want to do, there is nothing you can do. There is no governor that has moved officially yet or decamped yet,” he said.
