Senator Buruji Kashamu’s faction in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Ogun East Senatorial District has dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

About 1,000 defectors were received by Mr. Tunji Egbetokun, Senior Special Adviser on Political Matters to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

Egbetokun said; “Our party is open to all, even members of other parties. You have come at the right time. In our party, we do not discriminate; rather, we give due recognition to all members, irrespective of how long they have been members or their social standing.”

“I promise that the Abiodun-led administration will not disappoint members by formulating and executing policies and programmes that will have positive impacts on the socio-economic wellbeing of the people.”

Leader of the defectors, Chief Kolawole Akinyemi, said that they decided to join the progressives as a result of landmark achievements of the governor so far.

He attested to the governor’s sincerity of purpose, promising that they would join hands with him to move the state forward.
