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.3,000 PDP members defect to APC in Kogi State
