The All Progressives Congress in Osun State on Saturday said it will not miss former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, who recently left the party.
The party said it remained unperturbed, and would not lose sleep over the defection, adding that, in the last seven years, the former federal lawmaker did not add any value to the development of the APC in the state.
The party in a statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, also said the APC would not, in any way, feel the absence of Yusuf, noting that his defection was a blessing.
The statement read in part, “It is pertinent to tell the public what they already know that Hon. Lasun Yusuf is a ‘noisemaker and paperweight politician’ whose mind has left the party since 2018 after he contested for governorship primary election and failed and he has consistently been failing to win elections, even in his Polling Unit.
“Our party will show Hon. Yusuf that truly, he has no electoral value because, when he worked against the party, APC recorded so many electoral victories and the next election won’t be an exception.”
The party, therefore, urged members of the APC to stay away from enemies of the party who portray themselves as party men but were worse than those in the opposition.
