Kayode Ajulo, founder and convener of the Egalitarian Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation has raised alarm over the recent defections to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking with journalists on Thursday in Abuja, Ajulo said, ''The deluge of defections into the ruling All Progressives Congress should be a matter of concern for discerning and well-meaning Nigerians who want a country founded on justice, equity and the rule of law; DAILY INDEPENDENT reports.
''Let no one be deceived by this trend of defections; it is nothing but a desperate measure enacted by corrupt politicians to evade prosecutions for crimes committed. These are people who vigorously opposed the bid of President Buhari during the campaign season, now he (Buhari) and his party, APC, have become the beautiful bride being courted by many suitors. Initially, it was assumed that the decampees were ‘porting’ to the ruling party because they wanted continued access to the huge funds accessible by association with the party now in power. However, a close look at these characters have showed that they see the APC as some sort of haven and they are flocking into it not so much because they are chasing money but actually because they are fleeing from accountability and possible prosecution''.
