Why We Quit APC In Thousands – Ex-Osun APC Members
Leaders of former members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have explained why they dumped APC, declaring that more decampees are on the way.
In a statement signed by 31 leaders among those who decamped from all the 30 local governments and Area office, the group described their defection as “real, authentic, widespread and in thousands, not hundreds.
“We decide to issue this statement following controversy generated by a survey report from the Democracy Polling Agency which affirmed that 45 percent of Oyetola faction of the APC have defected to the PDP.
“We want to confirm that many of us were interviewed by the researchers who asked several questions from us. Many of us across the local governments were interviewed. When we saw the report, we knew it reflected our position.
“We left APC because the party has become unfocused, unpopular, anti-people, vendetta driven and unelectable. We left the APC because we want to be part of good things happening in our state. We are glad Governor Ademola Adeleke has turned around the fortunes of Osun state for the better.
“We don’t want to be part of the failure of the past. Osun’s government failed in the past under APC and we now have a government of PDP that is doing the bidding and aspirations of the people. We decided to be part of the success story.
“We also want to clarify that we have no problem with old members we met on the ground in the PDP. They are wonderful host and we are joining hands to build a better state. As new members, our goal is to ensure the re-election of Mr Governor. We want the good work to continue.
“To the APC, we are real leaders from across the local governments who left your party for PDP. We put our names on this statement so the public can know we are real.
“We can assert that more than 50 percent of Ileri Oluwa APC have left for PDP. More APC members are joining the PDP. It is a continuous exercise”, the statement concluded.
