Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State Godwin Erhahon has said the mass defection of members of the party at the National Assembly to the Peoples Democratic Party because they sought automatic tickets for 2019.
Recall that the lawmakers defected on Tuesday citing several reasons.
However, while chatting with the press on Wednesday, the APC scribe said the development will not affect President Muhammadu Buhari at the 2019 election.
“As a grassroots politician, we expected it from these crop of politicians without conscience, we expected it because we knew where they are coming from, 95 percent of them came in from PDP at the time they lobbied us to join the crusade for a new Nigeria,” he said.
“We thought with what Nigeria is passing through, we will learn and blend into the new system of a new Nigeria.”
