Group Dismisses ACN Members' 'Defection' to Kwara PDP
A group, the Irepodun New Initiative, has dismissed a report of the defection of about 600 members of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oro, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
It described the report as not only malicious but also unfounded and mischievous, adding: “It is only an imagination that can never become a reality in Oro.”
In a statement, the Chairman of the group, Mr. Atolagbe Ayansola, said: “We appreciate the pains some so-called PDP stakeholders in the ward are experiencing following the loss of the control of Oro Ward I and II in the 2011 election. We equally appreciate the enormity of the personal and political loss of patronage they have suffered.
“We are constrained to give measured response to their vitriolic lies. We have advised the Oro people to disregard the report of the people defecting in Oro town to the PDP as it depicts playing to the gallery to please their paymasters. Sooner or later their dangerous vitriol will earn them reprisals from the right-thinking people of Oro, who are not fooled by the new-found roles and the antics of recruitment into the PDP by all means for political sing-song before their leaders for monetary reward.”
