President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari has assured that the PDP chieftains jumping into APC will have very little influence in the incoming APC government that would be headed by himself.
He said APC has all the capacity to manage the large numbers of PDP defectors.
His words to PDP defectors: "The people who are defecting will only have influence in their constituencies. Since their constituencies are now controlled by APC their influence is therefore limited."
Though the president-elect said only the party can handle the issue of defections, he said the PDP bigwigs will be wise enough not to jostle for positions in the new government.
"I hope the people that are defecting will accept the fact that they are joining the people who succeeded. So, I don't think they will just come and say they want to be ministers next month simply because they were ministers before," he said.
