She said the consistent defection of party members from APGA to other parties across Nigeria can only be attributed to the governor's leadership style.

Bianca said:

“Curiously, they are almost all defecting to APC. Our party has lost almost half of our state and national legislators, several principal members of our Board of Trustees including the Secretary of the Board."

Warning that APGA is currently run like a secret cult, Bianca said the once vibrant party has been reduced to a shadow of its former self.

Also, expressing her optimism at Saturday's poll for the party, Bianca she was confident that APGA emerges victorious at the governorship election.
