“It has not come to us as a surprise.”
The All progressives Congress says the decision by Governor Godwin Obaseki to defect to the opposition People’s Democratic Party did not come to it as a surprising development.
Spokesperson of the APC, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu gave the reaction while speaking with journalists in Abuja. “It has not come to us as a surprise. We knew he had defected long ago because he resigned his membership of the party which we have accepted,” Issa-Onilu said. “So you can’t defect twice. So if he is defecting again, we don’t know whether what he has just done now is news any longer.”
