All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda has announced that prominent figures from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are poised to join the APC ranks next week.
The high-profile defections, described by Yilwatda as having successfully “passed their medicals,” come amid a growing wave of political realignments favoring the APC.
Yilwatda made the revelation during a high-stakes meeting with Plateau State APC stakeholders at the Crest Hotel in Jos.
Yilwatda revealed: “Next week, I will be receiving some notable figures from the ADC.
“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 New Diplomat reports that this comes as Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa announced their decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
