With barely four days left to the Kogi governorship
election, members of Senator Smart Adeyemi’s
political organisation and notable Peoples
Democratic Party’s chieftains in Okunland have
defected to the All Progressives Congress.



Leading the defectors in an elaborate ceremony held
on Monday in Iyara, headquarters of Ijumu Local
Government Area, was Fehinti Dada, director-general
of the organisation and former chairman of the
council.


Receiving the defectors, the APC standard bearer,
Abubakar Audu, commended their courage, saying
the wind of change spreading across the country
had finally come to Kogi.



He urged them to bring their wealth of experience to
bear on the party to enable it shine at Saturday’s
poll.



Mr. Dada said he and the other members of the
organisation defected from the PDP because the
party had failed the people.



He said a survey conducted by the organisation
showed that the PDP-led administration in the state
had collapsed activities at the third tier of
government and placed council staff on percentage
pay.




“I was in Ikole local government area of Ekiti last
week.



“To my surprise, the council did not owe workers
and recorded lot of achievements that had direct
impact on the people, despite receiving less
allocation in comparison to most councils in Kogi”,
he said.


Mr. Dada assured Mr. Audu that the defectors would
work with the existing party structure on ground and
deliver the council to the APC.




In a related development, Duro Meseko, a former
member of the House of Representatives, who
represented Kabba/Bunu Federal Constituency
between 2003 and 2007, also dumped the PDP for
the APC with thousands of his supporters at Iluke in
Kaba/Bunu constituency.



Mr. Meseko said he and his supporters could not
afford to be left out in the wind of change blowing
across the country and implored the people of Bunu
to come out en-masse and vote for the APC on
Saturday.



Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi West
Senatorial District in the Senate advised the
defectors to join hands with older members of the
party to defeat the PDP administration in the state.




He said Mr. Audu remained the best of the
candidates jostling to rule the state because of his
wealth of experience in statecraft and verifiable
achievements that had continued to affect lives
positively across the state.
