Nothing wrong in PDP, LP members joining us – APC

By Paul Dada

The All Progressives Congress (APC)has said there is nothing wrong in members of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party joining the ruling party.

The APC, speaking through its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, however, said the ruling party had no desire to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.

Morka said there was a time PDP controlled  28 states and no one accused it of turning the country into a one-party state.

“Many of these people are coming in and saying, we want to be part of the process. We want to identify with that process. There’s nothing wrong with that. And you know, that does not mean that we desire for Nigeria to then become a one party system.

“As our country, both in the Constitution, in Electoral Act, and a plethora of other laws, have embedded systems that unmistakably make Nigeria a multi party and pluralist society. So, we cannot as a party desire to go against the force of the Constitution, to say we want a party. Because to do that, you have to change a lot, which is nearly impossible to change,” he said.
