ATIKU'S DEFECTION IS A PLUS TO APC, -BISI AKANDE
Speaking with journalists at his Ila-Orangun country home shortly after he was registered as a member of the APC in the ongoing registration of the party, Akande said the defection of Atiku is a sign of victory for the APC.
He said the party would welcome all other defectors from any of the existing political parties to its fold, stressing that the APC is the only progressive national party in the country. On the ongoing registration of the APC members in the country, the APC leader said "we are expecting over 13 million members to register in all the 120,000 polling units across the country. We engaged over 250, 000 personnel.
"We want to show INEC that is inefficient. We want to show INEC how to conduct free, fair and credible election. The registration will last for five days. After the party congress, interested members can register online," he added.
Akande blasted the Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, saying he lacks political value and as should stop criticizing the APC and its leaders.
"For Okupe to have said that the APC is a sinking ship shows that he lacks the basic knowledge of the country's political system." Describing Okupe as a politician without any political value, Akande said the Presidential aide, had been to so many parties before settling at the PDP.
