Supporters of Kogi State former Governor, Chief Clarence Olafemi, have returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Olafemi’s supporters led by Hon. Oyebode Makinde, Kogi APC West Senatorial Youth Leader, and hundreds of other APC West members, mostly from Mopamuro, dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return to the PDP at a Senatorial meeting held in Mopamuro LGA today.
Speaking on behalf of the returnees, Oyebode Makinde, said the last two years of the APC led administration in the state emasculated those of them who contributed to building the party in the state.
He lamented a situation where those of them who formed the party in the state were turned to political orphans and now being harassed, intimidated and insulted for no fault, other than the fact that they work for APC to win the state in the last governorship election. He said their return to PDP has become inevitable.
The former Council Chairman said their return to PDP signaled the death of APC in the State and the bidding of goodbye to Lugard House by the incumbent governor of the state.
Receiving the returnees, Barr. Kola Ojo, Chairman Kogi West PDP, welcomed the returning members. He commended them for coming back home now that the ovation is loudest.
Ojo described the APC led administration in the state as poison that has killed thousands of citizens in just two years.
Ojo said while government is about welfare of the people, the government in Kogi is concerned about inflicting hardship, pain, sickness and death on the lives of Kogites since its inception in January, 2016.
The Chairman assured the members of equal treatment. He said under the PDP everyone member has equal opportunity to attain their ambitions and aspirations.
The meeting had in attendance staunch members of both the APC, who returned, and members of the PDP from the west who said the reunion is a positive signal of better things to come for the PDP in the future.
