The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the defection of some of its members in Ogun State would not affect the party‘s chances in the general elections.
In a statement in Abuja yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said there had been moves to reconcile aggrieved members in the Ogun State chapter.
It hoped, however, that the defecting members would reconsider their decision and beat a quick retreat.
The APC said: “Yes, the defection of some of our members will create some challenges for our party, but we will go back to the drawing board to re-strategise and redouble our efforts to retain the state in 2015.
“Every member of the party is important to its success, but none is more important than the party.
“Against this background, no member can hold the party to ransom”.
The party said it was a mere fallacy for anyone to conclude that the defection of some members, irrespective of their self importance, would undermine the party’s chances in 2015.
It urged its members in Ogun State not to lose sleep over the latest development.
