Amidst growing apprehension over the gale of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC) by notable members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has said the party has nothing to fear over the mass defection into the party. "I have no fears of PDP defectors," Buhari said during an interaction with journalists in his Daura residence on Saturday. Buhari stated that the PDP chieftains would have very little influence in the APC government, adding that the PDP bigwigs will be wise enough not to jostle for positions in the new government. "The people who are defecting will only have influence in their constituencies. Since their constituencies are now controlled by the APC, their influence is, therefore, limited. "I hope the people that are defecting will accept the fact that they are joining the people who succeeded. So, I don't think they will just come and say they want to be ministers next month simply because they were ministers before."
