Tom-Ikimi quits ApcThe Former National Chairmanship Aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr Tom Ikimi,  has announced his withdrawal from the political party.

His participation in the party has been limited since the National Convention of the party in June which produced Mr John Oyegun as the party’s national chairman.

Mr Ikimi in a statement made available to reporters on Tuesday said: “I have made the decision to withdraw my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) from today, 27th August 2014″.

Ikimi however failed to state exactly which political party he is defecting to.

Ikimi was interested in the position but was allegedly forced to withdraw from the race to pave way for the emergence of the alleged anointed candidate of the national leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Most defected members of the APC of late had joined the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but it is not yet clear if Mr Ikimi will be joining the PDP.
