Prof. Nantewe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the APC, has stated that the party remains indifferent to the recent defection of Mr. Peter Obi from the ADC to the NDC.
Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday during the process for purchasing and submitting APC nomination and expression of interest forms for the 2027 elections, Yilwatda addressed the political shift.
Obi previously served as the presidential candidate for the Labour Party during the 2023 elections.
Yilwatda suggested that opposition parties focus on resolving their internal conflicts, maintaining that their ongoing crises are unrelated to the APC.

He further dismissed the impact of approximately 18 National Assembly members resigning from the ADC to join the NDC, describing the move as insignificant and posing no threat to the ruling party.
“If someone defects from ADC to NDC or another opposition party, that does not affect APC.
“Let them sort out their problems. APC remains solid and we are moving forward with strong numbers.
“You talked about NDC. When people join APC, they claim we paid them, but when they defect among themselves, nobody says anything.
“None of those defecting is from our party. They are fishing from the same pond,” the APC national chairman stated.
