3,000 PDP Members Defect To APC In Kogi State
A total of 3,252 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Kogi West Senatorial District defected to the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC).
The defectors included two former Kogi Commisioners; that of Water
Resources, Mr Tunji Oshanusi and Agriculture, Femi Abolarinwa. APC Zonal
Chairman, Mr Ropo Asagun, received the decampees at the township
stadium in Kabba during the official flag-off of APC Zonal Rally.
Asagun lauded the decampees decision to join the ruling party, saying
it was a clear indication that the APC administration had performed
credibly well, both at federal and state levels. “This defection is an
indication that APC is generally accepted in Kogi west, and the state at
large, which is an assurance of our party’s victory in the 2019 general
elections. The party will not discriminate against any member whether
old or new,” asagun said.
In his remarks, the Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, Chief
Matthew Kolawole, urged the people to get their PVC and vote for APC.
“APC is the only party that can save us from the hands of looters; do
not sell your conscience, your PVC is your power. In the last three and
half years, President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice have done very well.
Our achievements will speak for us,” Kolawole said.
