We Won’t Filter Out People Who Want To Join APC – Felix Morka

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that governors defecting to the party are realigning themselves with a resurging Nigeria.

Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television, he stated that the recent wave of defections reflects confidence in the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Morka noted that the party is ready to welcome new members and will not act as a barrier to politicians seeking to join.

He said, “What you see is governors who have decided to join our party to identify with this resurging Nigeria that this President is clearly positioning Nigeria to be.

“We are happy, we are excited about people who join our party. We cannot be gatekeepers to filter out people who want to join our camp. We don’t do that because it is undemocratic.”

Addressing fears that the defections could lead to a one-party state, the APC spokesperson dismissed such concerns, arguing that Nigeria had experienced similar political dominance in the past without undermining democracy.

“The Peoples Democratic Party at some point in our history governed Nigeria with about the same number of governors.

“I was very active in the political world at that time and there was no spectre anywhere about a one-party state because the PDP had those numbers of governors. That’s not the case now, and I think we should not equate people joining our party with that mode,” Morka added.
