A former lawmaker, who represented Akoko North East/West Federal Constituency of Ondo State, Stephen Olemija, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The former lawmaker, who was received into PDP by Mr Fatai Adams, the PDP Chairman in the State, on Saturday in Ikare Akoko, blamed APC for the current challenges in the country.

“The Peoples Democratic Party is ready to right the wrongs of the All Progressives Congress-led administration,” he said.

He alleged that internal democracy is lacking in the APC, saying that a few cliques would hold the party by the jugular, and run it like a sole administrator without recourse to the laid-down constitution of the party.

“The only party that is practicing internal democracy, by giving party members platforms to aspire for any position of their choice is the PDP.

“No right-thinking person can give them another chance to continue with their disastrous administration,” Olemija said.

Welcoming the defector and his supporters, Adams assured them of equal rights and privileges in the party.

He said all defectors to PDP would receive equal benefits from the PDP, urging all members of the party to work together to ensure that the party emerges victorious in the forthcoming Elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olemija was in the National Assembly between 2015 and 2019.

Shameless people. When they loose out and could not get ticket in their various party, they will claim the party does not work with their ideology. Ideology of looting, stealing and holding common wealth to ransome. Yet, idiots will be hailing them.

He lost his returning ticket?

He won as governor, can do it as president, its individual people should vote for now.

According to his name, OLE-NIJA. A thief is a thief any day

For all these tinubu and Atiku supporters, it's less than a year Obi n datti joined the Labour party, see the tremendous strides they've made, which you all know your candidate's can't muster in a relatively unknown party in a very short space of time, At this point don't you guy's think it's beyond human efforts, but Divine help n support, God advancing him everyday? You can't fight against God's projects n succeed, just surrender for you to partake in the blessing God has for his people.

Lol. This is a damage control strategy by the PDP. For those who care to listen,Ondo is locked down for BAT

Nawa o

You will cry blood when Tinubu is sworn in as President in May 29th

Please try to read before making comment,it's very essential, just because you saw north in the statements, you never bothered to know where Akoko is situated, anyway, Akoko falls under Ondo state and Ondo state is still within southwest region.
