Gbemisola Saraki has
decamped to APC from PDP in Kwara State.
It was rumoured last month that the former senator was going to leave
the party, but Kwara PDP leaders pleaded with her by releasing a statement were
they asked her not to leave the party at a time they described as crucial
because the presidential election was coming up and her support would be
needed.
She however defected
officially today in Illorin where she addressed her followers and asked them to
join APC and vote for the party’s Governorship candidate and House of Assembly
candidates.
Ms. Saraki says her
defection was based on PDP’s marginalisation of women in the state, and accused
them of not developing the State.
PDP’s youth leader, Chief
Segun Olawoyin also defected to the same party today.
