Prince Kassim Afegbua
The spokesperson of the Reformed-All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Prince Kassim Afegbua, has dismissed claims by the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, that members of the R-APC are hired mercenaries.
The R-APC spokesperson said they were genuine members of the party interested in retrieving the party from usurpers.
Afegbua said: “Adams Oshiomhole needs to take a look at our past. We do not possess the characteristics of hirelings or mercenaries.
“We are bona fide members of the APC. When it is convenient for people, they dress you in very elegant robes but when they are losing the battle, they call you names, but we will not call them names, we will not stop to insist that we are going to rescue the APC and reposition it for optimum performance.
“We cannot be preaching to be progressives when we are law-breakers. We cannot be preaching that we are progressives when we are a party that has performed abysmally low in all sectors of the economy.”
