Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday said his loyalty to the ruling party is being tested at the moment.

Igbokwe’s statement follows Thursday’s defection of Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

Igbokwe had earlier lamented that despite his efforts to further make APC formidable, he has never been given ‘a red carpet treatment’ by APC at national level.

In a Facebook post on his known page on Friday, Igbokwe said that he is expressing his thoughts “for thousands that have been slaving for the party since 2013 after the merger of the legacy parties”.

I pray that your loyalty will not be tested at a time like this, the way mine is being tested at the moment,” Igbokwe wrote.
