For some stakeholders in the All Progressives Congress (APC), the gale of defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not altogether a welcome development.
Members of the National Committee of APC Support Groups for Senator Al-Makura who have expressed some fears linked to what party chieftains see as a blessing recently sent a communique to the leadership under Mai Mala Buni.

The group in the statement seen by Nigerian Tribune advised Buni to find out the level of commitment and moral background of the new members, especially those from the opposition party.
Chukwunonso David Ezedinma, the national chairman of the body, on Friday, July 9, claimed that most PDP chieftains are running into the APC as a haven from the storms of court cases coming against them.
Ezedinma warned the ruling party's leadership not to throw away its legacy of fighting corruption across Nigeria in the name of gaining more members.
His words:
"We, therefore, warn that care must be taken to balance our quest for membership with the interest the Party advances to fight corruption, a cardinal objective for which the Nigerian electorate welcomed us in 2015.
“Our group is concerned that, it seems that men and women, who have been accused of perpetrating all manner of official sleaze, corruption and stealing, now feel that the only thing to do to be allowed to continue to “enjoy” their loot is to jump into the saving sheep of the ruling Party. We must not encourage this mindset in order not to toe the ignominious path of the PDP.”
