2023: APC Members In South-West State Dump Tinubu For Atiku, Officially Defect To PDP

A total of 400 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo State Chapter, have defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

This came as defectors led by Comrade Raji Akeem Kolawole rallied support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections.

The defection of APC members into the PDP was the result of what they described as unending deceit and deception within the party, which they said has not only continued to cause more harm than good to their personal development as politicians but is also dangerous for the establishment of internal democracy within a political party.

While receiving the decampees into the PDP on Tuesday, Mayoress Olubukola Olayinka, Coordinator for the Atiku/Okowa Support Movement in Oyo state, stated that the work ahead is beyond anyone’s personal interest, emphasizing that 2023 is all about rescuing Nigeria for Nigerians.

Mayoress Olayinka, the former Deputy Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, recently led her political followers and supporters across the state into the PDP in support of Atiku Abubakar’s presidency in 2023.

Mayoress Olayinka stated during her welcome address that Atiku Abubakar’s presidency by 2023 was like a moving train whose time had come. She went on to say that the momentum that has been building in favor of Alhaji Abubakar in the political landscape must be maintained.

She stated that the momentum was evident in the defection of over 400 APC members in Oyo state into the PDP with the primary goal of lending their support to the realization of the ‘Atiku/Okowa’ PDP presidency.

“Their defection is hinged on the spate of untold hardship, insecurity, economic woes, high-handedness, nepotism, and insensitivity to the plight and yearnings of citizens that have characterized the government of President Muhammadu Buhari as well as the choice of the APC to field another presidential candidate who’s health condition may plunge Nigeria into another round of medical tourism.

“There is also rededication of many members of our party, PDP, across all 33 Local Government Areas in Oyo state to the presidential project of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar having realized he is the only politician among all the presidential candidates with a nationalistic disposition to unify Nigeria and deliver the nation from the edge of total collapse that the APC government has led helplessly Nigerians.

“Let me make this unequivocally clear at this point, that Oyo state is fully committed to the actualization of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential project and we shall commit every drop of our sweat, resources, energy, and time as well as everything humanly possible to ensure he emerges as Nigeria’s next president come 2023.” Mayoress Olayinka said.

Earlier, Comrade Raji Akeem of Ibadan South East Local Government, the leader of the APC defectors, stated, “we’re from APC and we decided to join PDP because APC has failed us because they care only about themselves and not Nigerians.”

When asked what he meant by the statement, Comrade Raji stated, “they don’t care about the people in APC as you can all see in the deteriorating cost of existing as humans in Nigeria today.”

“We all know how the APC met this nation in 2015 and we are all witnesses to where we are today so, 2023 is all about taking back our Nigeria from them and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the only hope on this rescue mission.

“That is why we decided to come back and join them in PDP. Although we started as PDP members in 1998 prior to the 1999 election, we left in 2016 to join the APC but we have decided to come back home through Mayoress Olayinka because APC has neither benefited us as politicians nor Nigerians as a people.

“After Mayoress Olayinka talked to us to return home, we felt this is a woman of great value and pedigree in terms of leadership and integrity.

“Actually, we have been together for about 30 years so she is a leader we can trust to follow her lead in ensuring that Atiku Abubakar emerges our next president come 2023 by the special grace of Allah.”

In separate remarks, the coordinators of the Coalition for Atiku/Okowa Support Movement from Ogun, Ondo, Chief Mrs Oludotun Alani and Adegboyega, as well as a PDP stalwart from Egbeda, Barrister Oladapo Olayinka, vowed to embark on aggressive grassroots mobilization for Atiku, stating that there would be no turning back on their mission.
