Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos, says Manir Dan’Iya, deputy governor of Sokoto, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The development comes hours after Aminu Abubakar, Iya’s spokesperson, told TheCable that his principal is still a member of the PDP.

The Sokoto deputy governor was responding to a viral letter circulating online which was allegedly written by him to his ward chairperson that he had resigned from the PDP.

Speaking at the unveiling of the 10,000 foot soldiers for the Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign, Sanwo-Olu said Dan Iya defected with 10 commissioners.

“I have this for all of us, the current deputy governor of Sokoto just decamped this morning to APC, and he did that with 10 commissioners,” Sanwo-Olu said.

On his part, Babatunde Fashola, minister of works, also said the Sokoto deputy governor has joined the APC.

“It is not that we will not beat them; it is how convincingly we can do that. In 2019, when the presidential candidates of PDP, NNPP, and LP were in the same party, the APC defeated them by 3.9 million votes,” the minister said.

“When they were together, they were not enough to challenge. How can a sum total of what wasn’t enough now be enough when you have broken it into three parts? The arithmetic doesn’t hard up. We have the largest number of registered voters. It must count.

“Just this morning, the Sokoto deputy governor defected from their party to APC. We are playing the game of addition and multiplication; they are playing that of division and subtraction.”

The APC must have been a sorry thing now to be hoping to glean up political refugees giving the massive decamping away from its fold especially down north.

Obiano's deputy joined APC before the election, and APGA still won the election. Elections are not won by shopping governors and their deputies on the transfer market. Politics is not premiership.

Hmm...so yesterday in Lagos I ordered a taxi. The driver arrived and was sweating inside AC. He seemed to be talking to himself. He was saying things like "Ha, Igbo people! Ye Igbo people". As a Yoruba man I was asking him what was wrong in Yoruba but he stepped out of the car and starting rolling on the ground shouting and biting himself. I quickly packed my things and ran to the sidewalk. All of a sudden another man just started rolling on the floor shouting "Igbo people o!", "Igbo people ooo!" then he got up, ran to a tree, and tried to have sex with the tree while shouting "agbado!", "agbado!!", "agbado!!!" 😲😲😲 Hmm...it was chaos. What I'm just trying to say is that ethnic bigotry is already making some agbado people go crazy, and many of them are on Nairaland. You will see their comments on this thread. Please be careful out there o. The crazy agbado tribalists are going nuts because they have seen their impending defeat 😂😂😂

They played this script in Anambra election and still came 3rd

Buying deputy governors at the 11th hour is a proof of desperation. It shows APC knows they do not stand the chance to win

PHIPEX:

Only difference here is that Sokoto is not Anambla.

Even Tambuwal knows that PDP is currently dead in Sokoto.

Politics of buying and selling is what Peter Obi is trying to dismantle. So, let's vote him for a better Nigeria

Its a pity nobody to believe again...but if the deputy gov will not challenge this lies against him in the court of law then he has truly defected but if the other way round then he still remain in PDP...
