Ogun Guber: 2,000 Defect To APC As Abiodun Begins Campaign

Laide Raheem, Abeokuta

No fewer than 2,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Accord Party (AP) and Action Democratic Party (ADP), have defected to
the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State.

The
defectors, who dumped their former parties on Monday at the flag off of
campaign ceremony of the governorship candidate of APC in the state,
Dapo Abiodun, held at Atan, headquarters of Ijebu North East local
government area of the state, also declared their total support to
Abiodun.

Addressing party faithful at the campaign, Abiodun, said
his administration would be committed to keeping all his electoral
promises, if he emerges the next governor of the state.

He
stressed that his administration is desirous of implementing all
programmes as contained in his policy documents and promised to return
power to chairmen of all local governments in the state.

This,
according to him, is to ensure that the council chairmen no longer need
to go to Abeokuta to beg for funds from the governor before they can run
the councils.

“By returning power to local government chairmen
to operate unfettered, council bosses will no longer have to go to
Abeokuta to beg for funds to run their administration.

“They will
be like mayors, like what we have in the advanced countries. By so
doing, they will have time to deliver good programmes for the people of
their immediate communities.

“Also, there will be prompt payment
of salaries of teachers and civil servants in the state, without delay”.
Ogun APC gubernatorial candidate stated.

He, however, sought for
massive votes from the residents of the local government in order to
enable him emerge victorious at the governorship poll.

“Don’t be confused, but ensure you cast your votes for me as your next governor of Ogun State.

“You should know where you are coming from and know where you are going”, said Abiodun.
