PDP Offering Bribes To APC Members To Defect – Lawmaker Raises Alarm.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has again reiterated its earlier decision not to negotiate with those it referred to as “mercenaries”, saying it would not be blackmailed into sharing Nigeria’s patrimony to a few individuals in the corridors of power.

Speaking yesterday in Abuja at a meeting with the APC Caucus in the House of Representatives, the House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila equally mocked some federal lawmakers who left the party earlier in the week, saying they were now regretting their actions.

At the meeting where the speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara was absent, House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila accused the Peoples Democratic Party PDP of offering bribes to members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the National Assembly to get them to defect to the opposition.


Addressing the lawmakers, Oshiomhole said: “I believe there are two broad forces in the Nigeria political system. The progressives which we represent and the reactionaries which other political parties led by the PDP represent.

‘’Those who are happy with the Nigerian paradox of a country is rich and its people are getting poorer and more people becoming homeless is a huge contradiction and should remain in the PDP and the other parties that offer them a tattered umbrella.

‘’But if you are committed to addressing and putting to an end the situation in a country that prides itself as the richest and powerful in Africa, whose human index suggests that we are backward, we must form a party of change that explains this paradox.
