Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Ibadan North Local Government chapter, yesterday
(Tuesday), welcomed hundreds of the All progressives Congress (APC) to
the umbrella party in a carnival-like ceremony, at the Salvation Army
School, Igosun, Yemetu, Ibadan.
Nigerian Tribune said the
new defectors in their address, said they decided to pitch their tent
with the party because the current APC administration in the state, had
failed to manage the electoral success they all worked for during 2011
elections.
The
former APC members who came with brooms the symbol of their old
parties, had the brooms burnt in the full glare of members of the
public.
Leaders
of the new members, Honourable Wale Sogbala and Mr Akeem Bello, in a
separate address on why they joined PDP said: “We opted for the PDP
because the Ajimobi-led government in Oyo State had failed to manage the
electoral success of the party. The two Senators of the party had gone
to other parties ditto some members of the Federal House of
Representatives and members of the state House of Assembly.
“Those
who painstakingly worked for the victory of the party are not the
beneficiaries of its goodies, but those who have influential parents
within and outside Oyo State. It means monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.
And since we do not want to labour in vain again, we decided to dump
the broom for the umbrella,” they said.
