All Progressives Congress, APC’s only surviving Senator in Oyo the state, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, Tuesday formally defected to Accord Party in front of a mammoth crowd at the Mapo Hall, in the ancient city of Ibadan.
On hand to receive him and other defectors ( Yemi Aderibigbe APC, former Senator Gbenga Babalola PDP) were former governor of Oyo State and founder of Accord Party, Rasheed Ladoja, who also is the National Chairman of the party.
Speaking, Ladoja, said although Accord was already fully on ground in Oyo State, but the coming of Senator Lanlehin would be a morale booster.
He promised the people of the state that the Accord would not let them down, if elected to form a new government on May 29, 2015, saying “We did it before and we shall do it even better again.”
Lanlehin, who described Ladoja as “my leader and father”, urged Oyo State people to vote Senator Ladoja as governor in 2015 and Accord candidates in other elections to ensure that whoever would be in government at any level from Local Government through the state to the federal would be of Accord.
I thought APC is the miracle and wonder party, so why are some of its memebers defecting.
