The APC chairmen said the aggrieved politicians who left the ruling APC were not comfortable with President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption crusade.

I said in my acceptance speech that we will have to create an Institute of Legislative Studies so that whoever is in this party must understand what we stand for,” Oshiomhole said.

“If we are bonded together by a set of ideology, it will be difficult for people who subscribe to these ideologies to decamp on the basis of not gaining for his pocket rather than not delivery to the welfare of the Nigerian people. Until we get there, these musical chairs will continue. If you are a man or woman of honour, you cannot vomit in the morning, all the impurity in your stomach and then because you are not getting a buffet, you convert that vomit to lunch and eat it with your eyes open.
