THE Kwara state chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the registration of the Alliance for Progressive Change, (APC), by Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), but with a warning that the new party should shun any attempt at luring PDP members into the APC.

The local Secretary of the PDP, Yemi Afolayan said in a chat with The Guardian in Ilorin yesterday, the branch of the PDP in Kwara is devoid of any faction and would therefore be difficult for any opposition party to over run in any election.

But a former Governorship Candidate of one of the parties that formed the APC, Dele Belgore SAN said with the registration of the new political party, the PDP in the state should be prepared to leave the Ahmadu Bello Way Government House Ilorin by the year 2015, when new elections would have been held. "We love the way the APC has been registered. It is good for the growth of our democracy," he said.
