No fewer than 800 members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara have defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Iyiola Oyedepo, the Chairman of the PDP in the state, received the defectors in Ilorin on Friday during the visit of executive members of the party in the North Central Zone.

Dr Hanafi Alabere, who led the defectors from Alanamu Ward in Ilorin West Local Government Area, said they were fed up with the APC.

Oyedepo, in his remarks, told the visiting zonal executives that no notable member of the party had defected to the APC since 2015.

He described the defection of Alabere and his colleagues as a pointer to the popularity of the PDP in the state.

The visiting Zonal Chairman, Mr Theophilus Dakas, commended the PDP executives in the state for keeping the party intact inspite of its internal crisis.

He appealed to the members to continue to work for the progress of the party through sustained membership drive.

Dakas, who said the party leadership had directed that power should be devolved to the ward level, commended members over the party’s performance in the Nov. 18, 2017 local government election..

He gave an assurance that the era of impunity and imposition of candidates in the PDP was gone, adding that the people would decide who would represent them. (NAN)

same old corrupt people moving in circles with no where to go except to satisfy their stomach infrastructure

I wonder how these people gets the figure and it’s always a round figure like 300, 500,2000, 10000 etc

There isn't any significant difference between the two parties.
Same players, different platforms.

Btw, do they normally do a roll call of the defectors at such gatherings?

Saraki is taking Kwara back to PDP.

Why always in round figure?

Why not something like 789 or 793?




Smh

The number is always rounded..u hear numbers like 800,2500,5000..lol

Hnmmm I really pity Saraki, the last lg election don teach d man lessons, PDP is growing stronger in kwara

.

There are two political parties in Nigeria, PDP and the rest.

Lol, Nigerian politicians and changing goal posts are like............, defection my arse. I guess these lots are they beer loving types who are against the ban on beer by there current led Apc government hence the defection to air there disapproval of the ban. political prostitutes.

Defection is not the problem, 80% of the Association of past criminals(APC) defected from the PDP to the APC yet no improvement. The solution to our problem is to sell Nigeria and use the money to buy cows.

waiting patiently for safari to come n join them later

waiting patiently for saraki to come n join them later

Beginning of apc downfall

Tiny drop in a mighty ocea
