Yilwatda: Prominent PDP Defectors to ADC Set to Join APC Next Week
Top PDP-to-ADC Defectors to Join APC Next Week – Yilwatda Reveals
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has revealed that the party is set to officially receive some new defectors next week.
Speaking during a meeting with APC stakeholders in Jos, Plateau State, Yilwatda disclosed that the new set of defectors includes some politicians who had earlier dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
According to the APC Chairman, the defectors “have completed their medicals” and will be formally unveiled as members of the APC next week.
“Next week, I will be receiving some notable figures from the ADC. Some of those who had earlier defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ADC are now returning to the APC,” Yilwatda said.
Naija News reports that the APC Chairman added that another notable figure would also officially defect to the APC in two weeks.
“In another two weeks, we will unveil yet another big figure who just finished his own medicals. He tried to unveil himself the day before yesterday, and you may have seen it in the news. But officially, we’ll be receiving him soon,” Yilwatda continued.
Why APC?
Yilwatda, who described the APC as “the bride of the moment,” said many high-profile politicians, including senators, governors, and members of the National Assembly, are joining the APC because everyone immediately gets full membership rights and privileges regardless of when he/she join the party.
“The beauty of the APC is that it welcomes everyone, regardless of when they join.
“You don’t have to be in the APC from the beginning to rise. I am a testimony to that. If you join today, you are a full member with full rights and privileges. That’s the spirit of our party’s constitution,” he said.
