Oshiomhole had described the defectors before State House Correspondents in Abuja, as ‘big masquerades with no electoral value’ in their constituencies.
Kwankwaso, who was among the 14 senator that defected during the week, has asked the APC chairman to wait till 2019 to see what they could prove.
However, speaking to newsmen in Abuja through one of his aides, Binta Sipikin, the senator said yesterday that Oshiomhole should not be in a hurry to test their political weight but should wait till the next general elections.
Sipikin, who said her boss’ electoral values would speak out in 2019, said:
Let me remind him on how Kwankwaso nearly
emerged the APC presidential flagbearer in 2015, which clearly shows
how popular Kwankwaso is.
“It is not a fiction that Kwankwaso in
2015 APC primaries in Lagos came second to Buhari which shows clearly in
Nigerian politics he is a force to be reckoned with”.
She promised that Kwankwaso and his
followers would surely show a political difference under the PDP, which
he helped to form, “Let me say clearly that by 2019, we will show to the
whole world that Kwankwaso is truly a force to reckon with when it
comes to Nigerian politics”.
