In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, warned that more party leaders may leave the ruling party after the exit of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
According to DailyTrust, the deputy spokesman said the leadership of the party should be remorseful, following the resignation of the Wazirin Adamawa and many others.
The influenial politician attributed Atiku’s defection to the failure of APC leaders at national level, saying he had predicted the recent development in the APC.
He said, “It is high time the APC realised that politics is about number; every youth, man or woman is important. The kind of arrogance going on in the party led some of us out of the PDP in those days. But we have now realized that it is even worse in the APC.
“Though it’s already getting late, but if this impunity is not tackled between now and early next year, the APC may witness the mother of all defections to opposition parties.
“As for me, I’m still a member of the APC because I believe I have worked hard to bring about the ruling party as a young man. But if the impunity does not stop, I will be left with no option.
“Not only me, but some other serving governors, members of the National Assembly and other known party leaders across the country have to decide their political future elsewhere,” he said.
