He said: “Shaibu and Ogbeide-Ihama’s support for the APC is likely to galvanize other PDP members to reconsider their positions, potentially leading to increased support for our party.
“As the PDP grapples with these significant contributions to the APC, we are solidifying our position and building unprecedented momentum.”
