The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiohmole, has described many of the members of the National Assembly who defected to other opposition parties as “victims of disinformation”.
Oshiohmole stated this when he addressed State House correspondents
at the end of a meeting between APC Senators and President Muhammadu
Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday night.
He warned that APC and the Buhari administration would not be
intimidated or distracted from delivering on its mandates to the
Nigerians.
“The Senators have come in huge numbers as the Senate leader had
earlier said, namely that APC remains the party with the highest number
of senators in the senate and in the House of Representatives. So, that
fact has been reaffirmed.
“Number two, we still have what it takes to continue to provide good governance for Nigerians.
“Number three, those people who had left, many of them were victims of disinformation.
“I think there was a clear attempt by a few who have the agenda to
try and play up fears and then seek to profit from those fears by
spreading disinformation in the manner that they did.
“But like everything that is not based on truth, overtime truth
emerges and people who were victims of disinformation retrieve their
steps which is why a senator from Ogun has already returned to the fold.
“I’m sure more and more who left out of confusion and who were misled, I believe they will come back.
“But much more importantly is that we have agreed that going forward,
this party cannot be intimidated, the government will not be
intimidated, it cannot be distracted, we remain focused, we remain
committed to addressing those critical challenges that confront our
country – security, economy and fighting corruption.”
The former Edo Governor commended the APC Senators who had come to
reassure the president of their full backing in pursuance of these three
core commitments “which we made to the Nigerian people and for me as
chairman I’m very excited”.
