A People Democratic Party (PDP) House of
Representative aspirant, Ms Aisha Osori, has
denounced the PDP to join the All Progressives
Congress (APC) after emerging winner under the
PDP.
Osori made the announcement on Tuesday in
Abuja while briefing newsmen at the APC national
secretariat.
Osori emerged winner at the just concluded
AMAC/Bwari federal constituency primary in the
Federal Capital Territory.
Osori, who was presented with the membership
card of the APC, told newsmen she decided to
carpet-cross after watching the APC primary
because she believed in Osibanjo, who was her
lecturer at one time.
“I decided to denounce membership after
watching the APC conduct its presidential
primary in a fair and competitive manner and
after seeing the combination of Osibanjo and
Buhari, both men of integrity.
“Osibanjo used to teach me at the University of
Lagos, faculty of law, I believe that is a great
combination that would move the country
forward and I want to be part of that team,’’ she
said.
According to her, the APC slogan `Change’ is
enough reason to support the party as she was
sure of winning the on the platform of APC.
Osori noted that more than 70 per cent of
Nigerians were youths who wanted the change
that “APC represents’’.
On what her contribution would be to ensure the
success of the APC at the general elections,
Osori, who is the CEO of the Nigerian Women’s
Trust Fund, cited experience.
“The years of experience I garnered in the private
sector as a lawyer and also as writer, first with
Thisday and later with Leadership newspapers
will be of value to APC.
Reacting to the defection, the APC National
Secretary, Mai-Mala Buni, who presented the
membership card to Osori, expressed delight
because his party was waxing stronger by the
day.
“Such event will be a continuous thing. Our
doors are open. Everybody, who is ready to join
the party, is welcome anytime, any day,’’ he said.

Another good news for the progressives. A bad news for the "retrogressives",
