The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has reacted to reports that the former factional chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was about defecting to the
ruling party.
Sheriff, reports say, plans to
join the APC at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Thursday.
But a statement issued Thursday
afternoon by Bolaji Abdullahi, APC National Publicity Secretary, said any
person who intends to join the party must do so at the ward level.
He wrote, “While we are aware of
such intentions, we wish to restate our earlier position that anyone who wants
to join the Party should do so at the ward level.
“We are happy to welcome new
members to our party, but membership cards are not issued at the Party National
Secretariat.”
Reno Omokri, former aide to
ex-president Goodluck Jonathan had suggested that Sheriff’s motive in defecting
was to avoid being added to the looters’ list.
