The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Prof Nentawe Yiltwada, has assured legacy members of the party that political defectors would not be allowed to take over its leadership structures.

He gave the assurance while speaking with newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the party’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) stakeholders in Abuja.

The national chairman drew a distinction between those who were in the party from the beginning and those who just joined, saying the interest of both would be protected without allowing one to subsume the other. “It is a home that we built. if the house was not built, nobody will come, so nobody should come as a warrior and take over,”he said.

He added that the solution however was in a deliberate power-sharing formula that guaranteed inclusion across both blocs.

“We must have everybody included, there will be a sharing formula that will ensure that all members of the legacy group and defectors are properly carried along”, Yilwatda said.
