As Husband Defects To APC, Abuja Minister Akinjide (Wife) Vows To Remain In PDP by dridowu: 12:10pm On Dec 20, 2013 |
The Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT , Olajumoke Akinjide, has vowed to stick with the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, and President Goodluck Jonathan, despite her husband’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC. Mrs. Akinjide’s husband, Ahman Pategi, was one of the 37 ex-PDP members of the House of Representatives who defected to the APC on Wednesday. Mr. Pategi, who was elected to the lower legislative chamber on the platform of the PDP, represents Edu/Moro/Pategi federal constituency of Kwara State . He is the Chairman of the House Committee on Water Resources. Mrs. Akinjide, who hails from Ibadan in Oyo State, responded to a PREMIUM TIMES enquiry via a text message. She dismissed speculations that she was going to join her husband in the APC. She vowed to remain in the PDP to work for the success of the president, the Transformation Agenda, and the party at future polls. The minister, who is the daughter of the Second Republic Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Richard Akinjide, added that her entire family dynasty remained loyal to the ruling party and the president. “I’ll never ever leave the PDP,” she said. “The Akinjide family is loyal to the PDP and loyal to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. My father, Richard Akinjide is a founding member of the PDP and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees.” “I am the arrowhead of the PDP in Oyo State as the minister in an opposition state. I will continue to work hard to ensure the success of Mr. President, the Transformation Agenda, and the success of the PDP at the polls in the 2015 elections.” While presenting items to some PDP members in Ibadan earlier in the year, Mrs. Akinjide had asked the president to contest the 2015 presidential election. The minister belongs to one of the several factions of the party in Oyo state. Reports say she and a former deputy governor of Oyo State, Taofeek Arapaja are leading one camp, while a former governor, Adebayo Alao- Akala, and former Senate Leader, Teslim Folarin, lead two other camps. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/151794-husband-defects-apc-abuja-minister-akinjide-vows-remain-pdp.html |

The husband is just an inconsiderate person. How do you defect to another party when your wife got her appointed by the government of another party. 1 Like |

Afam4eva: The husband is just an inconsiderate person. How do you defect to another party when your wife got her appointed by the government of another party. His wife is serving Nigeria, not a party. What she said is she will remain a member of PDP. It has nothing to do with service to country. 2 Likes |

Their home henceforth becomes a two-party home,and luckily the wife is good at leading a party faction. |

My concern here is, how on earth will a man be in fulltime politics, Member of Parliament, and his wife is also a fulltime politician, member of Federal Executive Council? So where do they place their family and kids? Is it only about food on the table and money in the bank? No parenting? Surrogate parenting? Horrible! |

Idi Amin: See how Naija politics will soon turn a once happily married couple to TOM and JERRY Not true bro. Matter of fact, this development would even strengthen their relationship as they both will be rushing back to their bedroom at the end of everyday's job to make love and gossip about how they've been able trick everybody. Trust me, this will be mega fun for any couple. |

You should be more concerned about millions of parents in Nigeria who work round the clock in banks, oil rigs etc without seeing their children for weeks/months than concerning yourself with the families of government officials who barely show up in their offices. Akinjide's kids are already married and are captains and Co captain of their own respective homes. |
