The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, has alleged that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress is giving false promises to some members of the opposition party to enable them to defect to the ruling party.
He also said the rumours, making the rounds that some highly-placed members of the opposition party were planning to defect were handiwork of the ruling party, insisting that such speculations were being orchestrated with the hope of destabilising the main opposition party.
He told one of our correspondents in an interview that there had been many moves by the ruling party to woo members of the PDP into its fold, saying the purpose of the APC was to snatch the PDP members but later refuse to give them any meaningful role in the party in future.

Ayodele Fayose, a former Governor of Ekiti State, has warned against arresting Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho.
Fayose condemned the federal government for going after Igboho after he issued an ultimatum to Fulani in Oyo State.
Igboho, real name, Sunday Adeyemo, reiterated his deadline on Friday.
Fayose, in a series of tweets via his Twitter handle on Saturday, told Governo Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, that arresting Igboho would escalate tension in the South-West region and Nigeria.
“Gov Seyi Makinde should rather use dialogue and persuasion instead of escalating tension in his own State by calling for the arrest of Sunday Adeyemo or anyone at this time,” Fayose tweeted.
