Hundreds of APC members defect to PDP in Lagos

Prior to the upcoming general elections in 2023, hundreds of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State’s Epe Local Government Area switched parties on Tuesday.
In the meantime, the defectors rallied support for the Lagos PDP, Abubakar Atiku/Ifeanyi Okowa for president and their respective presidential candidates, Dr. Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor, and Olufunke Akindele, who is running for governor of the state of Lagos.
The “unending lies and deception” within the party, which, according to them, has endangered not just Nigeria’s democratic system but also their own professional advancement as politicians, was the cause of the defection.
This development, according to the JANDOR/Funke Gubernatorial Campaign Organization, is another another proof of how widely supported the PDP, her presidential, gubernatorial, and other candidates are by the wonderful people of Lagos State.
The State Deputy Chairman of the PDP, Tai Benedict, welcomed the defectors on the party’s behalf and praised them for their fortitude in leaving the “clueless and inept” ruling party to work with the PDP to end the state’s 23 years of neglect and poor leadership.
They received assurances from Benedict that their membership in the main opposition party will not be refused since they are new members.
He informed them that there was no new member joining the PDP and that all genuine members were equally important stakeholders with no restrictions on their goals or benefits from the organization.
