Hundreds defect to APC in Kwara LG
Hundreds of people, including youths and Women from various political parties, on Wednesday, defected to the Ekiti council area of the Kwara chapter of the APC.
APC Ekiti council chairman, Wale Awelewa, who received and handed them over to Tunji Olawuyi, said they have equal rights like others before them.
Mr Awelewa urged them to be good ambassadors of the party and work for the victory of the APC in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Welcoming the defectors into the party, Mr Olawuyi reminded them of the intervention Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had brought to their area, including his contributions to the community.
The House Committee on Emergency and Disaster Preparedness chairman asked the defectors to reciprocate what the party had done by voting massively for the APC on February 25 and March 11.
