Tsunami of defection hits APC in Lagos

In the quest for gubernatorial election in Lagos, PDP received mass defection from the ruling party in Epe areas of Lagos state.

The news broke to exponentplus news today 20th of December 2022 through the spokesperson to the Lagos PDP governorship candidate Mr. Gbenga Ogunleye via a press statement issued where the hit of defection strikes the ruling party in the Epe area of Lagos when Peoples Democratic Party PDP leadership in the area receives hundreds of defectors from the ruling party APC.

The defectors give reasons for coming into the PDP, saying, the choice of the candidacy of Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran and Funke Akindele is a long-awaited choice that is rare in the selection of Governorship candidate in the PDP for over 23 years seen the doggedness and zeal to take the battle to APC who has let people down in their promises over the year.

However, they say further that the suffering and unfulfilled promises of APC with the hike in the price of the commodities is enough for everyone to embrace the duo of young, vibrant, and intelligent PDP Candidate Jandor/Funke Akidele who has the foresight to lead Lagosians come 2023.

The JANDOR/Funke Gubernatorial Campaign Organization has described this development as a further indication of the wide support that the PDP, her presidential, guber, and other candidates enjoy from the good people of Lagos State.

While welcoming the defectors on behalf of the party, the State Deputy Chairman, Hon. Tai Benedict commends the decampees for their courage to quit the clueless and inept ruling party to join efforts with the PDP in salvaging the state from 23 years of neglect and bad governance.

He assured them that their rights and privileges as members of the main opposition party will not be denied for being new members. He notified them that there is no new entrant in PDP and that all bonafide members are equal stakeholders with no limits to what they can aspire to or get from the party.

Also commending the large numbers of defectors, a prominent leader of the party in Epe Local Government, Alh. Mutaz enjoined the group to hit the ground running in the mobilization of voters at the grassroots from their zones and wards. He promised them that the breath of fresh air agenda of the party’s governorship candidate will transform their painful experience while in the APC.
