A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Simon Achuba, has asserted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a branch in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The former deputy governor made the assertion on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’.
According to Achuba, the APC is helping to bring the opposition together ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He added that Nigerians are not with the APC despite the numerous governors in the party.
He said, “All the APC is helping us achieve is bringing the opposition together. And whether the 36 governors of Nigeria get to the side of the APC, Nigerians are not there.
“Of course, the PDP has a branch in APC, which is obvious.
“If you are in a party and you say you are going to vote for a different presidential candidate, you’re already part of that party.”
Meanwhile, the Governor of Imo State and the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Hope Uzodinma, has stated that the APC does not plan to rezone its political offices ahead of its national convention.
Uzodinma made the disclosure while addressing journalists after a Progressive Governors Forum meeting held in Lagos on Sunday.
He insisted that the existing zoning arrangements would remain.
“We are not re-zoning. The offices are already zoned. The President is still in office. The Vice President is still in office.
“It goes without saying that under the Electoral Act, the positions will remain where they are.
“This particular convention is not for primaries. The primaries for elective positions will be conducted by INEC.”
