Ogbagi Akoko APC Members Reject PDP Defectors Amid Tensions

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogbagi Akoko Ward Six, Ondo State, have rejected a group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defectors led by Bobade Gboyega, popularly known as “Danger.”

The rejection follows what APC members described as an unauthorized acceptance of the defectors by some local party leaders.

The issue came to light during a visit by Honourable Bode Obanla, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa on Community Engagement (Ondo North), as part of his fact-finding and reconciliation mission in Ondo North Senatorial District.

The APC members made their position clear, describing the acceptance of the defectors as “unacceptable, null, and void.”

They accused party leaders of hoodwinking them into allowing Bobade’s integration into the party, a move they now firmly oppose.

Obanla also addressed concerns surrounding the recent brutal attack on Hon. Eli Awe, Director General of the Aiyedatiwa Campaign for Akoko North West Local Government. He assured members that the attack would not be ignored.

The Senior Special Assistant urged calm, assuring members that the controversies and negative perceptions caused by the acceptance of the PDP defectors would be addressed.

He said, “Let me reassure you that Gov. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa is not only a peace loving governor but a man whose blood is flowing with kindness rather than being portrayed as an apathetic person

“The door to APC as a party is open to all and sundry, but not to perpetrators of dastard acts trying to use decamping to evade punishment.

“These culprits must be brought to book and the full weight of the law must be allowed to take its toll on them to serve as deterrent to others.”
