I6 Local Govt Chairmen, 194 Councillors defect to APC in Kwara
Announcing their defection today, the Chairman, ALGON, Kwara
State chapter (under whose aegis they announced their defection) Mr.
Abdulateef Okandeji said failure
of the national leaders of the PDP to listen to their grievances is the
main reason for their defection.
16 Local
Govt Chairmen and 194 Councillors have defected to the ruling
opposition party, the All Progressive Congress, APC. The defectees were
elected on the platform of PDP.
"I recall that following the refusal and failure of the national
leaders of the PDP to address the observations and complaints of its
founding members especially about the lawlessness, impunity and
injustice which had become the norm and which led to the
factionalisation of the PDP, our leaders decided to team up in what is
known as the newPDP under the national Chairmanship of our own Alhaji
Abubakar Kawu Baraje. After exhaustive consultations and deliberations by our leaders
spearheaded by Senator Bukola Saraki, it was unanimously decided that
the best option for us would be to merge with the newly formed APC and
work together in the overall interest of the good people of this country
towards the advancement of democracy,” he said.
