All the 16 Local Government Area Chairmen, Supervisory Councillors and 194 Councillors in Kwara State elected under the Peoples Democratic Party on Friday publicly declared their defections to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Protem Chairman, ALGON, Kwara State chapter, Mr. Abdulateef Okandeji, said their defection was due to the failure of the national leaders of the PDP to address their complaints and grievances.
“I recall that following the refusal and failure of the national leaders of the PDP to address the observations and complaints of its founding members especially about the lawlessness, impunity and injustice which had become the norm and which led to the factionalisation of the PDP, our leaders decided to team up in what is known as the newPDP under the national Chairmanship of our own Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje.
“After exhaustive consultations and deliberations by our leaders spearheaded by Senator Bukola Saraki, it was unanimously decided that the best option for us would be to merge with the newly formed APC and work together in the overall interest of the good people of this country towards the advancement of democracy,” he said.
