A significant portion of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and African Democratic Party (ADC) members have defected to the Action Alliance (AA).
Adavi, Okehi, Ogori/Magongo, and Okene Local Government Areas are the four Local Governments from where the decampees are from in the Central Senatorial District.
The Decampee leaders took turns stating why they were leaving, citing their dissatisfaction with their previous party and their need for a leader who would act in the best interests of the general populace
Hon. Ibrahim Omonesi, former Council Leader of Adavi Local Government, who defected from PDP said he believes that the manifesto of AA will end poverty in the State.
On his part, Hon. Fidelis Sadiq, a former PDP member noted that after his experience and encounter with Braimoh, he has decided to pitch his tent with AA for the realization of his plans to the State.
Otunba Braimoh is the most serious candidate for the Kogi State governorship on November 11th, according to Hon. Momoh Jimoh Obeito, who dropped ADC. For this reason, he is determined to join AA in order to rescue the State from poverty.
Deacon Fred Ambo, the Acting Chairman of AA, greeted the decampees and urged them to put in extra effort to support the party’s candidate in the election that will take place in a month.
In his speech, Otunba Olayinka Braimoh, the AA Governorship Candidate, congratulated the defectors on their intelligent choice and urged them to start a ward-by-ward effort to gain additional party members.
According to him, with the new entrants into the party, as well as other massive endorsements, he is assured of victory at the poll.
Braimoh promised to stop dependence on federal allocation, adding that the State can survive with its abundant resources
