The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has described as comical, the declaration that six governors and some legislators would soon defect from its fold.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made the declaration about the possible defection of top members of the APC in a statement issued on Wednesday.
According to the PDP, in the statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the defection plan of the APC members into the PDP had been concluded.
By in its reaction the APC said the PDP was engaging in mere fallacy.
According to the Acting Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Yekini Nabena, the PDP was merely hallucinating.
“With PDP claim that six APC governors and twenty-seven national assembly members have concluded discussions to join the PDP, it is now clear that the PDP has assumed the role of comic relief ahead of the 2019 general elections,” Nabena said.

He said having been rejected by Nigerians, the PDP had chosen to hide behind lies and false realities to save face.
Nabena added: “While the PDP hallucinates on APC members’ defection to the PDP, the APC is consolidating to go into the 2019 General Election as a smarter, more united and stronger political fighting force.
“While the PDP wallows in its cooked up tales on the state of the nation, the President Muhammadu Buhari administration-led administration is focused on bettering the lives of Nigerians, addressing infrastructure needs, revamping the economy, restoring our rank in the comity of progressive nations, confronting the challenges we face as a nation and generally repositioning the country in line with the change agenda promised Nigerians.”
