Tinubu: Peter Obi, Atiku’s Supporters Dump Labour Party, PDP For APC In Kwara

A few days before the 2023 general elections, some supporters of the presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) Atiku Abubakar, in Kwara State, have withdrawn their loyalty and pledged to support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Naija News learnt that residents of Ekiti Local Government Area of the state, including youths and women declared their allegiance to the APC on Wednesday, February 8.

The defectors were received into the broom fold by the APC Ekiti LG Chairman, Wale Awelewa, who reportedly handed them over to Rep Tunji Olawuyi.

In his remark, Awelewa said the new party members had equal rights as others before them.

He, however, urged the new members 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, Rep Olawuyi reminded them of the intervention Governor Abdul Rahman AbdulRazaq had brought to their area, including their contributions to the community.
