Group berates APC youths for decamping to PDP

- By Balarabe Alkassim

A youth group in the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), APC Youth Mobilisati­on for Change (APCYMC), has faulted the defection of members of the APC Youth Frontiers to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

National coordinato­r of the group, Ismail Atumeyi Yusuf, described the defection in a statement as a wrong step saying those involved have no love for the masses and the entire nation.

It advised the APC to be wary of people who are not principled and who could be induced adding that the national leadership of the party should carry the youth along in their activities while scrutinisi­ng claims being made by groups in future.

“It is always a good riddance when somebody who lacks principle leaves your midst. Some of these groups are being sponsored to destabilis­e our party while calling themselves APC youths” the group said.

The group also expressed happiness over the conduct of the APC ward congress across the nation on Saturday and commended the APC over the peaceful and orderly manner the exercise was conducted.

It also described the exercise as a good developmen­t which will pave way for more peaceful conduct of the states congresses and the national convention of the party.

The group also advised the 37 House of Representa­tives members that defected to APC that, they should not be deterred or made to lose focus as the party is behind them and will do everything legally possible to pursue their case.
