The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the Coalition for Nigeria movement which was formally launched yesterday in Abuja.

It would be recalled that former president Olusegun Obasanjo had suggested the movement in the letter he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari, advising him not to seek re-election in 2019.

But the APC has said the prospect of a coalition does not in any way threaten the existence of the party.

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said this in an interview on Wednesday in Abuja.

Abdullahi said, “The prospect of a coalition does not threaten the APC at all. The only threat we can begin to worry about lies with the Nigerian people.

“If it is about competition for power, how many political parties do we have? That is enough reason for us to worry about competition.

“If another coalition is set up for the purpose of winning power good luck to them, that is the essence of constitutional democracy, a multi-party system thrives in that kind of situation.

“So, we don’t feel any threat, we don’t feel concerned they are welcome to the field.”
