2,000 members of ACN including Governor Fashola’s aide defect to PDP in Lagos

An exodus has occurred in the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with about 2,
000 members in Lagos, led by Abdulkareem Rafiu, a former security aide to Gov. Babatunde Fashola, moving to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


Abdulkareem Rafiu said the PDP is the party
that will bring back the dream Lagos. He told PDP members who were at the state party secretariat in Ikeja, where the defectors were formally accepted, that the ACN had not lived up to expectation.


On hand to receive the defectors were
PDP top men, including its former National
Deputy Chairman, South-West, Olabode George, former governor of Ekiti, Segun Oni, and former Minister of Transport, Ebenezer Babatope.


At the event, George said a PDP-led
administration would never disappoint the
people of Lagos.


"I am delighted that many people in the
ranks of the ACN are now seeing the light," he said.


Oni also said that by 2015, PDP would form the next government in Lagos State. He called for unity among the party members.
