We are Leaving Poverty For Prosperity, 200 APC, PDP Supporters Declare as they Join AA in Kogi State.
About 200 members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Akpazu Ward, Kogi Local Government Area, dumped their respective parties for Action Alliance, saying their action is informed by the need to leave poverty and join the fast-moving prosperity train as represented by the AA Guber candidate, Otunba Olayinka Braimoh.
In a remark, former PDP Public Relations Officer, Sani Ibrahim said that all Kogi State needs to eradicate poverty is a visionary leader. He noted that among all the candidates contesting for the 11th November elections, only Otunba Braimoh has a workable and realisable agenda.
On his part, a former Assistant Secretary of APC in the local government, Salihu disclosed that he and other members are ready to work for the success of AA to ensure the party clinch victory in the forthcoming polls.
Also speaking, Chairman of AA in Kogi Local Government Area, Hon. Yunusa Zakari described the defection as a welcome development and assured new members of equal treatment. Hon. Zakari implored them to sensitise more persons to join the party towards salvaging poverty from the State.
