There
were strong indications on Monday that more All Progressives Congress members
of the House of Representatives might leave the party as the raging crisis over
the loss of return tickets for 2019 deepened.
Findings
showed that about 36 more aggrieved members could leave the party next week.
Recall
that up to 70 members had protested their loss of return tickets after the
party’s primary election to its appeal panel.
Incidentally,
the panel was said to have resolved only eight of the cases in favour of the
petitioners, leaving the majority of 62 out of the equation.
On
Wednesday last week, a member from Kaduna State, Mr Musa Soba, resigned from
the APC on the floor of the House in Abuja to cap his protest against alleged
“injustice.”
He
had also disclosed that the members, after a series of meetings, had resolved
to start defecting or resigning from the party in batches.
When
contacted on Monday, Soba confirmed to Punch that about 36 aggrieved members
would be in the next batch to leave the APC.
He
added that more members would leave before November 17.
Soba
stated, “About 36 more members will follow next week.
“Others
will also exit before the 17th of November.”
