John Oyegun, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says some members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are seeking to enlist as members of the opposition party.

Speaking at the national secretariat of APC on Monday when Muhammadu Buhari, former Nigerian head of state and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), submitted his nomination and expression of interest forms, Oyegun said APC was ready to take over the reins of government.

He described Buahri as one of the valiant Nigerians who had offered themselves to serve the people on the platform of APC to change the country for good.

He said what Buhari had done was a confirmation that he was serious about the presidential race

“If you pick a form and do not return it, we are not sure yet that you mean business,” he said.

“I want to assure you that half the crowd you saw are PDP members seeking registration and indicating their interest in APC.

“They wonder whether we can give them the waiver to pick our ticket for various offices they are willing to contest for come 2015.”

On his part, Buhari said he had followed the due process by collecting and filling the form as well as submitting it to the party.

“I am pleased that the forms have been dully filled and you can see my signature on it,” he said.

Commenting on the Thursday’s crisis at the national assembly, Buhari described the presence of the police and other law enforcement agents as abnormal.

He sais that such action was capable of undermining the country’s constitution, adding that security agents ought not to have gone to the national assembly.
