We’re not bothered by lawmakers’ defection – Ogun APC
August 29, 2013 by Segun Olatunji, Abeokuta
The All Progressives Congress in Ogun State says it is not bothered by the decision of some lawmakers elected on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to defect to the Labour Party.
The APC also said it did not feel threatened by the action of the state House of Assembly and House of Representatives members.
Seven members of the Ogun State House of Assembly and two others representing the state in the House of Representatives had on Tuesday defected to the Labour Party in the state.
The APC, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, in Abeokuta on Wednesday, described the defecting lawmakers as “habitual renegades and renowned political prostitutes.”
The party added, “As far as our party, APC is concerned, the purported defection is of no consequence. We are bold to say this because these characters have long lost their reckoning in our defunct ACN.
When last did any of them attend even ordinary ward meeting in their constituencies? Since they have contributed nothing to the party in the first place, their defection is only a flight of fancy.
“In the typical manner of the prodigal, they have only gone back to their vomit. Remember that they came from the PDP. Now, they are back to the camp of their erstwhile master, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.”
According to the APC, the lawmakers, who have joined the LP “have simply returned to where they belong, the camp of politicians who have nothing to show for the long years they held public office.”
