He categorically stated that , the PDP chieftains would have very little influence in the APC government, adding that the party had the capacity to manage the number of PDP defectors.
“The President Elect also said that those defecting will only have influence in their constituencies. Since their constituencies are now controlled by the APC, their influence will however be limited,” he said.
Buhari, who said it was only the party that will handle the issue of defections, warned that the PDP bigwigs will be wise enough not to hope for positions in the new government.
Finally he said, "I hope the people that are defecting will accept the fact that they are joining the people who succeeded. So, I don’t think they will just come and say they want to be ministers next month simply because they were ministers before,” he said.
Wise words. Well a word enough for the wise.
