1,500 PDP Members Defect To APC In Lagos by quickberry(m): 7:31am On Dec 23, 2017 |
No fewer than 1,500 members
of the Peoples Democratic
Party in Oshodi-Isolo Local
Government Area of Lagos
State on Friday defected to the
All Progressives Congress,
according to the News Agency
of Nigeria.
The report said that the
defectors were received by Mr.
Olusola Sokunle, representing
Oshodi-Isolo Constituency I at
the Lagos State House of
Assembly, and the APC
Chairman in the local
government area, Alhaji
Olamide Kasali.
Sokunle, who was elected into
the House of Assembly on the
platform of the PDP, had in
February, along with six other
lawmakers, defected to the
ruling party on the floor of the
House.
The lawmakers had cited the
performance of the state
governor, Akinwunmi
Ambode, and the leadership
style of the Speaker of the
House of Assembly, Mr.
Mudashiru Obasa, as reasons
for their defection.
The new defectors were led by
a PDP chieftain in the council,
Mr. Fola Mosaku, and four
councillorship candidates of
the party in the July 22 council
polls in the state.
Sokunle, while receiving them,
said, “The APC is a party to
belong to; (it’s a party) where
our political aspirations can be
met. So, endeavour to
frequently attend political
meetings in your wards.
“Let us thank Governor
Ambode for giving Oshodi a
facelift. More projects are still
on the way. The door is still
open for other interested PDP
members to join us.”
He said that the APC-led
government had performed
beyond expectations, with
various development projects
executed in different parts of
the state.
Also welcoming the defectors,
Kasali assured them that the
APC would ensure their
interests were protected.
The party chairman said that
the party would soon begin its
membership registration in
the wards. He urged all new
and old members to go to
their various wards for
registration upon the
commencement of the
exercise.
Speaking on behalf of the
defectors, Mosaku said, “We
dumped the PDP for the APC
because of the performance of
Sokunle.
“We are also motivated by the
performance of the APC-led
government in Lagos; we will
not do a U-turn and return to
the PDP.” Source: http://punchng.com/1500-pdp-members-defect-to-apc-in-lagos/ |

This Brown envelope media should stop bug us with their propaganda news. We the masses are the one waiting for election day not the these hungry party agents moving from one party to the other. |

The opposition in Lagos is so bad that majority of its house of assembly members decamped to APC citing the performance of Ambode as the reason for defection. |
