ABOUT 1,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party were, on Thursday, formally received into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State by the party’s leader in the council area, Alhaji Kamardeen Ajisafe.
The chairman of the caretaker committee of the local government, Honourable Wahab Oladejo, who flanked Alhaji Ajisafe during the reception held in Ido town, commended the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, for his purposeful leadership in the state and the party which, according to him, is the reason the ranks of the party has continued to swell.
He admonished politicians in the country to set aside their differences and work with the Federal Government in its crusade to revamp Nigeria’s economy and restore its glory in other areas.
The leader of the defectors, Alhaji Bello Labankadi, in his address, urged politicians in the state to join “the progressive train of the APC” which, he said, had, “against all odds,” taken governance in the state to a higher level.
