Deputy Senate Minority Leader Emmanuel Bwacha has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is secretly lamenting over the mass defection of its National Assembly members.
Reall that many lawmakers from the ruling party had last week left for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Although President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is not bothered by the defections, Bwacha, representing Taraba South, noted that the APC was only comforting itself..
“In 2014, when members of PDP moved to APC, we said they are inconsequential, downgrading the leaders who are actually powerful individuals in their respective places,” the lawmaker said on Monday in Jalingo, the Taraba capital.
“These leaving APC are leaders elected by people in their various places and cannot be written off. They (APC) are only saying this to comfort themselves, so others will not be demoralised.”
