The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence that those defecting to it from opposition political parties will contribute to its growth and development.
It also said ‘waivers’ would be granted to those who join or want to join the ruling party.
John Akpanudoedehe, Secretary, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, expressed the confidence in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
He said the development was an attestation that the APC was a party of choice for Nigerians.
The statement was to welcome federal lawmakers of the House of Representatives who recently defected from some opposition political parties to the APC.
