'Merger'll boost development'
A group, Kwara Coalition for Positive Change (KCPC), yesterday said the merger of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) in Kwara State will enhance the state's development.
A statement by KCPC leaders, Idera Jimoh, Mohammed Sha'aba Patigi and Lamidi Okiki Sanni, welcomed "all members of the nPDP under the leadership of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and Senator Bukola Saraki and their supporters to APC.
"We pray that the togetherness will not only consolidate the APC in Kwara State but will further enhance the development of the state.
"We also appreciate the APC's Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, for coming home to appraise the political situation of the merging parties.
"His explanation had diffused all dissenting speculations that were intended to cause disaffection among willing and committed members of the APC."
An aide of former Gombe State Governor Danjuma Goje has said the merger would create a deviation from "the current situation where only one party has continued to dominate the polity through monopoly."
Dauda Simon said the defection will make the country a two-party state and help create a comfortable free environment synonymous with healthy democratic system."
