The All Progressives Congress, APC, National Vice Chairman (Southeast), Ijeoma Arodiogbu, has disclosed that governors from Bayelsa, Rivers, Plateau, Kano, and either Abia or Enugu States would defect to the party within the next two months.
Arodiogbu made the disclosure while dismissing claims of an opposition coalition, which he described as a media stunt.
In a statement, he noted that most of the politicians prefer to stay with the APC and not the emerging opposition coalition.
He said, “We are talking about governors from Bayelsa, Rivers, Plateau, Kano, either Abia or Enugu. In the next two months, you will see them join us officially.
“This idea of forming a so-called opposition coalition is nothing but a media stunt.
“But Nigerians are aligning with a party that is delivering and that is the APC.
“Of course, Bayelsa is in the picture, that’s why I mentioned it.”
He also hinted at the possibility of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State defecting to the APC.
“On Adeleke, I can’t give a definitive answer, but I know he has made moves.
“We’re not ruling out Governor Alex Otti of Abia or the Enugu State governor either,” he added.
The coalition, which was birthed a few months ago and includes eminent Nigerians, is believed to be weighing up its options on the political party to adopt.
