Ms. Osori, who was presented with the
membership card of the APC, told journalists she
decided to defect after watching the APC primary
because she believed in APC’s vice presidential
candidate, Yemi 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,” Ms. Osori said.
“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.
Ms. Osori noted that more than 70 per cent of
Nigerians were youth who wanted the change
that “APC represents’’.
On what her contribution would be to ensure the
success of the APC at the general elections, Ms.
Osori, who leads the non-governmental
organization, 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 Ms. 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. (NAN)
