Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the defection of former APC BOT member, Tom Ikimi as a good thing.
THE GUARDIAN reported that during a telephone chat, APC National chairman spoke on Ikimi's defection. He said, "He is giving himself an undue importance which he does not deserve because he is insulting all the leaders of the party saying that he is the only sensible person in the party. That is not true and that is not possible at all.
"What he is doing is reporting himself to the entire nation, and displaying the kind of person he is. What is happening really is that both the PDP and APC are being purified and that all the birds that flock together are beginning to flock together and that is a good thing for this country. It is good for the APC and the PDP. We don’t want people who don’t think like us, don’t have the same ideology or has not committed to that ideology. We are losing some and gaining some. The process of ideological purification is underway and those who don’t share the same belief like us are all going the same way and that is nothing we have to regret at all.
"I don’t know how many votes he controls that we will lose, but we will see. Maybe he will be able to make PDP win in Edo State because he controls the Edo voters. February is around the corner. He is arrogating to himself an influence he does not have either in Edo or nationally to affect the course of the February election, not even in Edo State.
