The National Publicity Secretary of the R- APC, Kassim Afegbua, said members of the R – APC had reached a point of no return in their quest to restore the APC to its original state of pro – masses, purpose-driven platform for genuine democrats to access power for good governance and the general welfare of Nigeria and Nigerians.
According to him , speculation that the R – APC is given life to prepare grounds for defection to another party is part of the propaganda by those seeking to weaken the resolve of the group to rebuild the APC.
He explained that what the R -APC was interested in currently was to ensure that promises made by the APC to Nigerians in 2015 were fulfilled .
Afegbua said, “Democracy is a system that caters to the interest of the majority of people in a given society. That is why it is called democratic rule. We resist attempts to push Nigeria towards a civilian dictatorship.
“ They said we are hirelings. The people they are going to talk to in the National Assembly; are they also hirelings? You visit the Senate; you visit the House of Representatives. Why are you talking to them? It is coming a little too late because we are determined to take the APC back to the right path. ”
In response to a question as to whether members of the R – APC were afraid of a possible clampdown by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and other agents of a state, he said it was to be expected.
The R – APC spokesperson said, “ Of course, why would they clamp down? They will clamp down because they want to sustain this phlegmatic leadership. They are desperate to sustain this leadership that does not result oriented, that is not knowledge driven. ”
