OSHIOMHOLE MEETS BUHARI, CALLS DEFECTED LAWMAKERS’ 'SHARE THE MONEY' GROUP

-



Earlier today,  20 Senators and thirty seven members of House of Reps defected from the ruling APC party; 33 to opposition party, PDP and 4 to ADC party.
  

 On this,  the National Chairman of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has met with President Muhammadu Buhari.

In his address with State House correspondents, Mr Oshiomhole has said he is happy about this development stressing that those who left are “mercenaries” who were in APC just to win election.

He explained further that the ruling party is “not disturbed at all” and that he is not losing sleep over the defections.

Mr Oshiomhole also said it is good that those who never believed in the APC are leaving ahead the electioneering activities because that would enable the party concentrate on its campaigns.

He said those who defected cannot affect the electoral fortunes of APC because President Muhammadu Buhari got more votes than them in their own constituencies in the last election.

He described the defectors as right wing politicians who believe in the philosophy of “share the money” and did not belong to the progressives group.

He said even while they were in the APC, they constituted themselves as opposition to the governing party.
