All Progressives Congress (APC) governors have congratulated the rebel governors who defected from the crisis-ridden Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the opposition party on Tuesday.
Congratulating the nPDP governors, the APC leaders called their defection “courageous for taking the historic
step of leaving the fast crumbling PDP into the progressives fold.”
According to the statement signed by the 11 APC governors, including Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State, on Monday night, their coming to the APC, “despite all manners of
intimidation, harassment and persecution by the Federal Government and the PDP
is worthy of commendation and is indicative of strong personal principles and
commitment to the progress of Nigeria.”
The APC accused the ruling party of having no plans for Nigeria. The APC
governors also blasted the PDP for wasting public resources and
further impoverishing of Nigerians in spite of unprecedented oil revenues.
“Together, we shall forge
stronger alliances by joining forces with other like-minded progressives to
rescue Nigeria from imminent collapse,” they added.
