The recent defection of Barrister Dele Williams Bello, the African Democratic Congress, (ADC), candidate for Kogi West Senatorial District at the 2023 General Elections to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), signposts the mass movement of people from other political parties across the State.
Barrister Bello, along with many of his supporters at the event which took place in Kabba, recently, noted that, “the PDP is the only organic party in Nigeria, where internal democracy thrives, gives equal opportunities to members, and is well accepted by the people.”
Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Yusuf, Member of the party’s Board of Trustees reiterated that, “the PDP remains the only political party that can bring true dividends of democracy to the people of Nigeria.” He charged everyone “to go back to their respective Wards, and work together towards rebuilding the party in the State.” He also admonished “party faithful across the State to heartily welcome new members, and ensure that the PDP is properly positioned for the 2027 General Elections, which we are confident will bring the leading status of the party to national status.”

While eulogizing the commitment of the party faithful to the on-going membership drive, Hon.
