President Goodluck Jonathan and President Muhammadu
Buhari.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) on Friday said former
President Goodluck Jonathan has supported the current
administration despite being a card-carrying member of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
APC Spokesman, Yekini Nabena, made the comment while appearing
on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Also appearing on the show was PDP spokesman, Mr Diran Odeyemi
who said a number of APC governors are set to defect to the
PDP.
“Goodluck Jonathan has been working for this government,” Mr
Nabena said. “He has been going to all African countries. If he is
not a progressive person, he won’t have been working for this
government. So the PDP should also know that.”

Jonathan lost to Buhari in the 2015 general elections, but he
has since taken up several diplomatic assignments across the
continent.

Recently, the ex-President led talks that helped to de-escalate
the crisis in Mali.
Mr Nabena, on Friday, argued that Jonathan’s work is evidence of
the APC’s progressive streak.
However, Mr Odeyemi disagreed, reiterating that the APC is set
to witness a couple of top defections to the PDP.
“Many APC Governors are talking to us,” Mr Odeyemi said.
“Perhaps Nigerians have not seen the end of these activities. More
Governors from APC are coming to join us. And I’m saying it with
all emphasis.
“The question we have to ask ourselves is, what has been the
achievements of APC now, that will now warrant people to join them,
if not for selfish reasons? Nigeria knows which party to vote for
in 2023 and that’s what we rely on.”
