Plans to officially receive the
over one million decampees
from the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) have
reached advanced stage,
according to the leadership of
the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Kaduna State.
This was disclosed by the
organising secretary of the APC
and running mate to the
gubernatorial candidate of the
defunct Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC) in the 2011
elections, Barrister Joshua D.
Ephraim. He also confirmed that
the defected PDP members will be
officially received and presented
to former Military Head of State,
Gen. Mohammadu Buhari and
former Lagos State governor,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"APC has come to stay in Kaduna
State; we will certainly take over
power from PDP by 2015," Mr.
Ephraim said. "By the time we
officially receive the one million
PDP decampees to APC, the PDP
will be left with nothing other
than inexperienced people in
their camp.
"We have many PDP members
from Southern Kaduna, an area
that has been predominantly PDP,
willing to defect to our party as
soon as we commence
registration of members.
"We know the PDP has been going
round with a fake information
that APC is a Muslim party. This is
coming from the pit of hell of the
PDP, but they will fail in their new
strategy to win elections."
Also speaking was a former
chairman of the PDP in Kaduna
State who recently defected to
the APC alongside other principal
leaders of the PDP also confirmed
that over one million members of
the PDP have already indicated
interest to join him in APC.
"We are just waiting for a date
this month to present the
decampees to APC leaders in
Kaduna. As a former chairman of
the PDP, I will stop at nothing to
see the failure of PDP by 2015 in
the state," he said.
