5,000 APC members defects to PDP in Ondo
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has suffered a big in Ondo state as no fewer than 5,000 of their members defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akure south local Government Area of Ondo state.
According to a leader of the defectors, Olusola Nenuwa, the ruling party had failed the people of the country.
It was reported that he argued that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had ruined the country’s economy in the last three and a half years, increasing the rate of unemployment and hunger.
“In 2015, we thought APC would change things for better, especially in the area of the economy. We thought President Buhari was the messiah we needed.
“But to our surprise, the country moved from pan to fire. Instead of changing our story to a better one, they have worsened the situation.
“There is suffering in the land and you can see a lot of crime everywhere because of the hunger in the land. They have said now that they will take us to the next level of suffering.
“We have decided to join the moving train of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. He has what it takes to deliver us in this country. He is one of the highest employers of labour in Nigeria. He knows how he will improve the economy,” he said.
