Ondo Rep joins APC, says more lawmakers coming
A member of the House of Representatives, representing Akoko North-East and North-west Federal Constituency, Hon. Gani Dauda, has finally pitched his tent with the All Progressives Congress.
While making his decision known in Akure on Tuesday, the lawmaker, who was received by the Chairman of the party in Ondo State, Isaac Kekemeke, and other party officials, said that other members of the National Assembly from the state would soon join him in APC.
He said the on- going wind of change in the state informed his decision to dump the Labour Party and pitched his tent with the party of progressives in the state.
Dauda said, when he was approached two months ago to join the party,he was skeptical, but now he had seen the light, assuring that the party would sweep all elected offices in Ondo state come February 2015.
He said, It is not Gani Dauda that is joining the party today, but a movement from the Northern Senatorial district of the state that decided and said it is APC or no any other party again.
A truck of change is going on across the country and I have the privileged of joining the truck that is loaded with progressives, which represents hope for a better Nigeria.
He urged the leadership of the party in the state to allow internal democracy to triumph in the party so as not to have any challenges during and after the primaries.
Responding, Kekemeke said the party was more determined to rescue the state from destruction that befell it as a result of bad governance.
Kekemeke said the battle line was drawn between those who want Nigeria to be better and those who want the country to continue with the current status.
He urged all aspirants of the party to conduct themselves and their campaign in orderly manner, devoid of abuse and slander.
