JUST IN: Mass Defection Hits PDP, As Party’s Senatorial Candidate, Amusan, 50,000 Supporters Join APC

Former House of Representatives member and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State Hon. Kayode Amusan on Wednesday formally announced his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress(APC).

Amusan, who represented Abeokuta North, Obafemi Owode and Odeda Federal Constituency for eight years on the platform of PDP, said he is leaving former party for the ruling APC with over 50,000 thousand supporters he has been nurturing in the last 19 years.

The property magnate, who was also the senatorial candidate of PDP in the last National Assembly election for Ogun Central, told reporters during a press briefing in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital that his defection would further boost the chances of Prince Dapo Abiodun succeeding Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

Amusan said he knows the capacity of Abiodun as a successful entrepreneur and business man, saying he is the type of man the Gateway state required now to run the affairs of the state, urging his supporters and Ogun people to cast their ballot for the APC governorship hopeful.

He also called on the electorate to support the candidacy of Abiodun and desist from the habit of making unnecessary demand from those who signify interest to serve, saying such attitude would scare away people with genuine desire to serve.
