The Lagos branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that members who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), would not be missed as they were not so useful.
Making this statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Tuesday, the Lagos central PDP Vice Chairman, Mr Hakeem Olalemi, said the defectors we’re not active members of the party, anyway.
He said; “All the people that left had been inactive in the party in the past two years; we are not going to miss them at all.
“The party has since moved on. We are moving on without them. These people showed long ago they were not PDP members again, they are Jandor’s people and we have always known that they are APC.
“In Lagos PDP, we have long forgotten them. They had not been part of us for over two years. When last did you hear them defend PDP in Lagos State before their defection?
“It (their defection) is not news to us in Lagos PDP, we know they left since. We are not bothered a bit.”
On monday, NEWSMAXNG reported that some members of the Lagos PDP had defected to the APC stating that the PDP was in coma and they needed to align with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.
Some of the Defectors included; Prince Rufus Adeniyi, a former PDP Assistant State Organising Secretary (Lagos West) and Mr Jerry Afemikhe (Olori Odo), a former PDP House of Representatives candidate in Surulere Constituency I.
Some 2023 PDP Lagos State House of Assembly candidates also defected to the APC.
