BREAKING NEWS: #16 Kwara LG Chairmen, 194 Councillors Defect to APC# All the 16 LGA Chairmen, Supervisory Councillors and 194 Councillors in Kwara State elected under the PDP on Friday publicly defected to the APC. The decampees, under the ALGON Kwara State chapter in Ilorin on Friday jointly declared their unalloyed allegiance to the APC. The Protem Chairman, ALGON, Kwara State chapter, Mr. Abdulateef Okandeji, attributed their defection to the alleged 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.
