He discussed this while expressing concerns over the wave of defections by members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<br \/>\nTinubu who spoke to newsmen betrayed his political body language and showed concerns about the defections from the opposition party to the ruling party.<br \/>\nTinubu also mentioned that the influx of the PDP members \u201cwill crumble the APC, especially, if the President (Buhari) decides to do just a term.<br \/>\n\u201cThe President Buhari I know, has very good intentions for Nigeria, and he would want to handover to someone he deems not to be corrupt. It is even possible that the President already has a successor in mind. And the danger is this; at the fullness of time, these PDP defectors, will form an unholy alliance with some politicians in APC and across the board, to thwart the President\u2019s succession plan. And that will be the end of the APC, and a new rising for the PDP \u201c<br \/>\nHe said he does not celebrate the defection of PDP politicians no matter the status warning that they are disaster in the making \u201d I\u2019m not elated about the news of former senators, and even serving ones, defecting to the APC. Even if a governor from the opposition defects today, I will not celebrate it. I think the President should be leery and extremely cautious of these PDP defectors, and should not give them any serious responsibilities. Because at the appropriate time, they will manifest great evil and disaster against the President and the APC. \u201d Tinubu said.<br \/>\nHe also congratulated Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state, on his reelection for another four years and commended Chief Timipre Sylva of the APC for putting up a gallant fight.<br \/>\nThe APC has received in recent times Senator Uche Ekwunife, Senator Jim Nwobodo, Former PDP Executives in Akwa Ibom and thousands at a mega rally in Jigawa state.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6362\" src=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/kogi-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"kogi\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/kogi-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/kogi.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National leader has hinted at the possibility of President Buhari spending a single tenure in office.
