Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, says political parties in Nigeria lacked identity and ideology, leading to frequent defections from one political party to another.

Mr Ganduje said this when he inaugurated the party’s zonal co-ordinators across the country.
He said that the situation must change for the better.

He said the zonal co-ordinators would be in charge of the six geo-political zones of the country.
