Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), says “notable figures” from the African Democratic Congress
(ADC) will be joining the ruling party next week.
Yilwatda spoke on Friday during a meeting with APC
stakeholders in Jos, the Plateau state capital.
“Next week, I will be receiving some notable figures from
the ADC,” he said.
“Some of those who had defected from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) joined the ADC and are now returning to the APC.
“Many of them have completed their medicals and will be
officially unveiled next week.
“In another two weeks, we will unveil yet another big figure
who just finished his own medicals.
“He tried to unveil himself the day before yesterday, you
probably saw it in the news. But officially, we’ll be receiving him soon.
“More people are coming. More senators, governors, and
members of the national assembly are joining. The APC is the bride of the
moment.
“The beauty of APC is that it is a party that welcomes
people, regardless of when they join.
“You don’t need to have been in APC from the beginning to
rise. I am a testimony to this fact; many others are as well.
“If you join APC today, you are a full member with full
rights and privileges. That is the spirit and the letter of our party’s
constitution.”
The ruling party has witnessed an uptick in the number of
politicians joining its fold ahead of the 2027 elections.
The PDP recently lost several members, including governors,
to the APC.
Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu, joined the APC this week,
with Douye Diri, governor of Bayelsa, reportedly set to formalise his move to
the ruling party sooner.
