2887 Members Of PDP, SDP, Decamp To APC Just in One State

A total number of 1,237 members of the Abe-Igi Babaloke group in Idiroko ward, Ipokia local government council of Ogun state on Saturday defected to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state. The decampees led by their leader, Mr Abdul Rasak Isa were received by the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun during his re-election campaign at Ipokia. Their leader, Mr Abdul said they were tired of PDP and its governorship aspirant in the state, and even though they have been with him since 2003, they are ready to leave and join the moving train.

In a similar vein, about 1,650 supporters of both the Social Democratic Party, SDP and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ilaro in Ogun State on Tuesday last week also defected to APC saying they were satisfied in the government of Ibikunle Amosun and pledging their loyalty and support for him in the forthcoming general elections in the State.

The Governor however welcomed all the newly defected members and said it was a welcome idea and even a better one for the State.
