No fewer than 10,000 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Kwara North Senatorial district of the state, on Thursday, defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The defectors, who attended the declaration ceremony in representative capacity due to the raging deadly coronavirus pandemic, cut across the five local government council areas
Kawodogo disclosed that the next local government council election in the state would mark the gradual extinction of the ruling APC in the state to oblivion.
“After waiting for a year, we discovered that the truth has prevailed, necessitating our movement as against compromising our principles. “It is high time we maintained our clear noble principles towards bringing positive changes and betterment to our people,” Kawodogo declared. In his welcome speech, state chairman of the PDP, Engr Kola Shittu, assured the defectors that they will enjoy existing privileges in the party devoid of discrimination.
Describing the development as unprecedented, he said “doors of our party are wide open just as our umbrella is big enough to house every citizen,” adding that “the PDP is determined to better their future.”
