Ex-PDP council chairmen, councillors, others defect to APC in Kwara

Date: 2021-06-13

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairmen, their vice, supervisory councillors and councillors between November 2017 and November 2020 Saturday officially defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state.

Former presidential candidate of the defunct Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alhaji Ganiyu Galadima also joined scores of defectors to APC at the event.

Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq welcomed defectors who were predominantly of PDP to APC fold in the state.

AbdulRazaq received the decampees at a ceremony organised to celebrate June 12 and Democracy Day in Ilorin, the state capital.

The elated governor who restated his commitment to good governance and grassroots development said over 400, 000 Kwarans have registered in the ongoing APC membership revalidation and registration exercise.

Also speaking the APC factional Chairman in the state, Alh Abdullahi Samari put the number of the PDP and other parties’ members that decamped to his party event at 3,500.

He said the defectors decided to join the APC because they were impressed by the outstanding performance of Governor AbdulRazaq.

One of the decampees, Ganiyu Galadima said:” I am now a member of APC in Kwara and Nigeria. My reasons for decamping to APC are more than 10 but for purposes of time I will dwell on three. First, in 2019, our party, the deregistered Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) supported President Muhammadu Buhari for his election bid. We also came to Kwara state and supported the APC.

“Another reason is the attitude of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq towards governance. His commitment is very high and his approach to governance is unrivalled in the history of the state. For the first time we have a governor that works for 24 hours. It is a good legacy. It is enough motivation to attract people to support him. That is the reason why the governor is popular in the state. The third reason is his commitment to infrastructural development.”

Former chairman of Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON ) in the state, Joshua Omokanye said: “All the 16 former chairmen under the auspices of the PDP are officially decamping to APC. This also includes former councilors, supervisory councilors and vice chairmen . We had done it at our various wards in our local governments. We are decamping because we love APC and we love the state governor for what he has been doing since he entered the government.”
