Why Tinubu and Aregbesola will not leave APC for anybody – Rep

An All Progressives Congress member of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Ayo Omidiran, on Thursday, dismissed insinuations that the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, would leave the APC for another political party.

She also said Tinubu’s strong allies like the Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, and other associates, would not leave the APC which they sacrificed so much to build for anybody.

Omidiran, who represents Ayedaade, Irewole, Isokan Federal Constituency of Osun State, said that other politicians could choose to leave the APC, but not Tinubu and his associates.

She added, “Tinubu, my governor, his associates and those people you mentioned will not leave the APC for anybody because it is their party.

“There is nothing like leaving the APC for another party. Leave it for whom?

“Other people can say they want to leave but Tinubu will not leave his party.”

Omidiran admitted that the APC had its “own issues,” which were being addressed.

She did not go into specifics, but stated that whatever were the issues, they were not enough to break the party into fragments.

“In APC, have you ever heard of New APC or any such names?

“It is in the PDP that you can talk about factions or new PDP; we don’t have new APC,” she added.

Asked whether the APC would survive as a united front till 2019 to contest the general elections, Omidiran said the party was intact.

“We remain solid; the party is strong,” she insisted.
