President Buhari has opened up about the recent raft of defections that has taken place between the top political parties in the country
According to the President, he wished them ‘Good luck’
He said at a lunch with some APC governors, “For those who have decided to change camp for whatever reason, we wish them good luck,”
Top politicians such as Bukola Saraki, Aminu Tambuwal, Dino Melaye et al defected from the APC to the PDP, while Senator Godswill Akpabio moved the other way.

While Buhari didn’t speak directly on the defectors, he did say in a speech in Daura that neither they nor their backers could derail his campaign or the good work that his administration is doing.
‘‘We are always encouraged when all our constituents are happy with the work we are doing and our genuine efforts to make sure that what we campaigned for in 2015 is still very much in our minds and we have not lost focus.
‘‘In terms of security, economy and the fight against corruption we have maintained focus. Even the opposition with all their resources cannot fault our identification of Nigeria’s priorities and the efforts being made to better them.
‘‘We will continue to do what we ought to do in the leadership position God has placed us and we thank the constituents for the support,’’ he said.
