2019: Gale of defections hit Ogun APC

 This may not be the best of times for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State as no fewer than 30 members of the party defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday in Ilaro district, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.

 This is coming a day after about 20 members of the APC from the same local government defected to the PDP ahead of the 2019 general elections.

 The defectors, who were led by Chief (Mrs.) Kolawole Wosilatu, said their defection was informed by Senator Buruji Kashamu's leadership attributes.

"We moved from the PDP to the APC few months ago. But today, after taking a close look at the prevailing political situation, we have decided to return home. We are back in PDP for good; we have seen the difference. The APC is not reliable; we cannot remain in a party where favouritism and selfishness reign supreme. It is evident that APC cannot move us forward. We are tired of the hardship being inflicted on us by the APC," she said.

Wosilat said they were encouraged by the relentless efforts of the PDP leadership to get them back to the party.

Receiving the defectors on behalf of the Ogun State PDP Chairman, the State Coordinator of Omoilu Foundation, Mr. Leke Shittu said the PDP was being restructured from the ward level to the state level in order to be well positioned for future challenges.
