Lagos – Some 2, 000 members of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Lagos, led by Mr Abdulkareem Rafiu, a former security aide to Gov. Babatunde Fashola, on Saturday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Rafiu told PDP big wigs and party faithful who were at the state party secretariat in Ikeja, where the defectors were formally accepted, that the ACN had not lived up to expectation.

“I believe the PDP is the party that would bring back the dream Lagos,” Rafiu, popularly called “Otto’’ , said.

NAN reports that on hand to receive the defectors were PDP bigwigs, including its former National Deputy Chairman, South-West, Chief Olabode George, former governor of Ekiti, Mr Segun Oni, and former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope.

Addressing the defectors and party members at the event, George said that a PDP-led administration would never disappoint the people of Lagos.

“I am delighted that many people in the ranks of the ACN are now seeing the light,” he said.

Oni, who also spoke at the event, informed the gathering that by 2015, PDP would form the next government in Lagos State. He called for unity among the party members.

Earlier in a welcome speech, the state chairman of the party, Chief Tunji Shelle, urged the members to join hands to move the PDP forward.

“Let us move this party to a position in which the teeming masses of Lagos State, who have suffered so much, can find succour,” he said. (NAN)

alhaj harem i told you these people are all the same

beaf will love this

PDP is welcome to spend some of the Ghana-Must-Go bags they are spending on their officials on Lagos people.

When election time comes people know who and who not to vote for.

I love the following quote especially, as in "PDP is the party that [size=14pt]would[/size]. . .", but won't.

I believe the PDP is the party that would bring back the dream Lagos[/b],” Rafiu, popularly called “Otto’’ , said.

[Rafiu, popularly called "Otto".]

I see that's the quality of defectors..... Ha ha ha ha ha

Normal service.

GAR3TH: They are all the same. If CPC wins lagos you will see all of them defect to CPC, If ANPP wins Enugu you will see them flock like birds.

Just goes to show you that many so called politicians don't care about the people but rather care about being the "winning" party.

By being in the "winning" party they are guaranteed to continue seating in office and collecting salary.

Simple truth my bro . . . . I refer to them as ======> [size=28pt]Polistitutes[/size]

Rented PDP crowd deceiving themselves. Organizing their own people to defect to their own party. Bunch of Alibabas.

bashr8: alhaj harem i told you these people are all the same

LOL I have told you ACN and PDP are the same only that ACN has Oshomoile and fashola of which are the best two governors in Nigeria.

I understand what you are tryin to say here...but, dont u think its more to do with our culture....Yorubas do this no matter who u are....

PDP=BAD MARKET

PDP=PEOPLE DECEIVING PARTY

These parties are almost or if not all the same. All grab and eat parties, all of them. Vultures, already planning on how to devour Nigeria! And who is pioneering the so called defection-BODE GEORGE? . We still have a long way to go in this country.

some headline dey baffle person,if fashola gateman join pdp,una go say na him security aide.

So? Are they not birds of the same feather? Although, I see more days of sorrow ahead if PDP Should take over the reigns of Lagos state.

And by the Time Tinubu and fashola doll out some cool cash, they will all run back to ACN, mtscheeew, shiit is always shiit no matter how you package it

jmaine:

Simple truth my bro . . . . I refer to them as ======> [size=28pt]Polistitutes[/size]

that is political prostitutes

No doubt. Politicians r the same, bt not all are like PDP

PDP's own is too bad

They r a party of vampirees cutting across all tribal n religious divides feasting on the massess as their prey

Neva trust a politician, YES.

But i'd rather give ACN/CPC/APGA the benefit of my vote than any PDP flag

alj harem:

LOL I have told you ACN and PDP are the same only that ACN has Oshomoile and fashola of which are the best two governors in Nigeria.

These two governors by origin or affiliation am conversant with, with due consideration to the resources available to them and the level of hopes they raised before coming into power e.g Oshomohle, cannot be said to be best governors. However, they have lived above boards.. Wat ll u say of Akpabio, Amaechi, Sullivan and co.. CORRECTION: They are among the performing govs..

More than half of ACN top shots were rejected by the PDP.

Were Ajumobi, Amosun, Ngige, Terrorist Udoedeghe, Achike Udenwa including
all ACN presidential aspirants not disgruntled PDP bastards?

the reason why i will never vote for ACN again is because of area boys (touts) that extort money from commercial bus drivers; making the cost of transport fare to be on the high side. I strongly believe that ACN is strongly is support of these extortions. I just wish that the PDP lead govt will try as much as possible to get these touts out of lagos roads.

flow1759:
that is political prost!tutes

Exactly

I agree, only Oshiomole and Fashola are admirable in ACN.
The rest are worst than the PDP bastards.

[size=16pt]POWER MUST CHANGE HAND, COME 2015. BY FIRE, BY FORCE[/size]

PDP- PAPA DECIEVE PEKIN. Until we stop this party fraternity, nigeria is going nowhere oh

Siga: I understand what you are tryin to say here...but, dont u think its more to do with our culture....Yorubas do this no matter who u are....

Seems this has nothing to do with culture. Looks more like a prisoner who was granted state pardon or something, thanking the governor. But my problem is with the expression on their faces and the way the guy in black suit is stepping away from him Looks like he is the scum of the earth to them. Who knows whether he is not one of those awaiting trial in prison for 5years (maybe for stealing a chicken or one bigman put him there to teach him a lesson for doing nothing). Meanwhile our government is busy stealing us blind and nobody is going to jail for that.
