The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it does not filter out those joining the party amid the gale of defections.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television, APC National Secretary Felix Morka said filtering those joining them is undemocratic.
According to Morka, defectors are aligning themselves with what he called a ‘resurging Nigeria’ under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“What you see is governors who have decided to join our party to identify with this resurging Nigeria that this President is clearly positioning Nigeria to be.

“We are happy, we are excited about people who join our party. We cannot be gatekeepers to filter out people who want to join our camp. We don’t do that because it is undemocratic,” Morka said.
Dismissing concerns around a one-party state, the APC spokesperson added, “The Peoples Democratic Party at some point in our history governed Nigeria with about the same number of governors,” he said.
“I was very active in the political world at that time, and there was no spectre anywhere about a one-party state because the PDP had those numbers of governors.
“That’s not the case now, and I think we should not equate people joining our party with that mode.”
