It seems that the mass exodus out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  and into the All Progressives Congress (APC) is yet to stop.

According to reports, some supporters of former President Olusegun Obasanjo have turned their backs on the ruling PDP and moved on to the APC.

The move, which was made mostly by PDP members in the South West, was said to have been necessitated by the fact that the defectors felt sidelined.

Nigerian Eye reports:

It was learnt that the former president’s loyalists would have left the PDP early this year, but they were prevailed upon by Obasanjo to remain in the party after the visit of the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, to him in Abeokuta on January 26, 2014.

A member of the PDP National Working Committee, who confided in one of our correspondents, said that the party was aware that the former president’s loyalists had left the party.

The national officer, who is sympathetic to the group, stated, “I am aware that their grouse is mainly that they have been sidelined. All the points raised by Obasanjo in his letter to the former PDP chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, have not been addressed.

“We continue to behave as if we do not want the old man and his supporters in the party. Mu’azu promised to address those points when he visited Baba (Obasanjo) in January, but nothing has been done.”
