We Are Not Worried About Lawmakers’ Defection —Ogun APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has declared that it is not threatened by the decision of some lawmakers in the party to decamp to the Labour Party.

The party, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, described the three lawmakers at the state and federal level who defected to Labour Party as “habitual renegades who are renowned political prostitutes.’’

“As far as our party, APC, is concerned, the purported defection is of no consequence. We are bold to say this because these characters have long lost their reckoning in our defunct ACN. When last did any of them attend even ordinary ward meeting in their constituencies? Since they have contributed nothing to the party in the first place, their defection is only a flight of fancy.

“In the typical manner of the prodigal son, they have only gone back to their vomit. Remember that they came from PDP. Now they are back to the camp of their erstwhile traducer, Otunba Gbenga Daniel,” the APC publicity scribe stated.

He added: “The lawmakers who have joined the LP have simply returned to where they belong, the camp of deceitful and selfish politicians who have nothing to show for the long years they held public office.”

Lawal described the APC as the needed tonic not only to tone up the tempo of infrastructure development in states controlled by the defunct ACN, but also the overall socio-economic development of the country.

He explained that the APC was painstakingly conceived by like-minded Nigerians and groups in all geo-political zones in the country who have, for the first time in the nation’s political history, shed their political and ethnic interests and unite to salvage Nigerians from the cruel jaws of the poverty-induced PDP.
