The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has described the defection of some members of the party as “good riddance”.
The state publicity secretary of the APC, Chris Finebone, made the comment on Monday following the recent exodus of members from the party.
Finebone however acknowledged that some of the members who left added value to the party but wished them well as they resolved to leave the party.
He further said the defection of some others comes as a relief for the party.
According to Finebone “there have been some movement though I cannot term it exodus because that is relative.
“What is important is that such a movement should be carefully appraised. The first individuals are those whom I can say added value to APC business while they were here, to them we wish them well.

“To the exit of these particular persons, we say good riddance because they caused the party much more harm than good.
