Dele Belgore set to join Kwara PDP
Indications emerged yesterday that the Kwara State governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in 2011, Mr Mohammed Dele Belgore, SAN, has finally agreed to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Belgore’s new-found romance with PDP was informed by the recent defection of former Governor Bukola Saraki and his supporters, including Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Saraki is currently representing Kwara Central in the Senate.
Though Belgore, who briefed newsmen last Sunday shortly after addressing his supporters, had said he remained a member of the APC, he expressed indignation with the national leadership of APC for not considering the cause to take away the politics of Kwara State “from the hands of a very domineering selfish few”, apparently referring to Saraki’s control in Kwara politics.
Sunday Trust gathered that no sooner had Saraki and his supporters defected to APC than the PDP members in the state tossed an invitation to Belgore to join the party and join the struggle to demystify Saraki’s domineering influence in Kwara politics.
It was gathered that the Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Professor Oba Abdulraheem who has just been confirmed for another term of five years despite opposition Saraki held a meeting with Belgore last week to invite him to the PDP.
