APC Should be Cautious of Mass Defection – Party Chieftain, Jackson Ojo

…Says Imminent Implosion Looms

A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Jackson Lekan Ojo, has cautioned the party about the gale of defection to the party, saying an imminent implosion looms ahead of 2027 general election.

In a telephone interview, Chief Lekan Ojo described the defection of opposition Politicians as ‘worrisome’ and stressed that those joining APC are doing so for political survival and selfish reasons.

According to him, members of APC that sacrificed to solidify the party have their own ambition to use the party platform to contest for elective positions but those ones already in elective positions that are flooding into the party are scheming to upstage the old members of the party during the next general election.

This, he said, will cause crises and implosion that may affect the fortunes of the ruling party.

Chief Lekan Ojo advised President Bola Tinubu added that the actions of the APC and President Tinubu not to focus on governance but engage in a “fight” with the opposition ahead of the next general election is worrisome and counterproductive.

Ojo emphasised that there was a need for caution, stressing that the APC and opposition were causing political tension and anxiety in the landscape.

He also said the APC should not celebrate the crises rocking the opposition parties.

“From the ambience, it is clear that the APC might soon be in disarray too. Look at what is happening in its North East zone.

“It will soon happen in the North Central and other zones.

“APC will be badly wounded if the ongoing drama continues. But at the same time, the opposition also must be united and sincere in their dealings, especially on the issue of coalition.

“There are several disgruntled elements in the APC who contested and lost previous elections.

“Some of the people coming in now are already holding elective offices and would like to suppress those already in the party.

“This will be resisted, I can assure you. And that resistance will cause a crisis.

“Some are moving to APC to race for the position of Vice President, some are rushing to battle for senatorial tickets, while others would be interested in hijacking the party’s hierarchy.

“So in all these, Nigerians are at the receiving end,” he said.
