Former President Goodluck Jonathan has finally defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bashir Ahmad, President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide said Monday night.
The news of Jonathan dumping the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC, came after a group that identified itself as ‘Fulani Group’, on Monday purchased the N100 million APC expression of interest and nomination forms for the former president to join the race for the APC presidential ticket.
Ahmad, in a tweet on his verified Twitter account, said, “So Goodluck Jonathan has dumped the opposition PDP and now a member of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
Ahmad noted that a political party sells its nomination and expression of interest forms to only its registered member.
According to him, “No one will give out N100 million to buy Presidential forms from a party he’s not a member of. The primary criterium for parties to sell their forms to you is that you must first be a registered member”.
