Scores of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwarts from across the four local government areas that make up Kwara central senatorial district, decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the weekend.

Ibagun ward in Ilorin East local government was worse hit as former aides of the immediate past Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and former Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, led their supporters into joining the APC.

The famous PDP chieftains, who dumped the PDP alongside hundreds of their supporters included Barrister Shehu Salaudeen Ismail, a former liaison officer to the former Governor Ahmed and Alh Oladimeji Ayinla, former Ibagun PDP youth leader and former legislative aide to Saraki.

LEADERSHIP recalls that about 3,000 members of the PDP in Ibagun ward, had in 2021 decamped enmasse into the APC, citing the superlative performance of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and the appointment of some illustrious indigenes of the area into key government offices.

Notable government appointees from Ibagun ward include the Special Adviser on Strategy, Alh Saadu Salahu,Senior Special Assistant on Security, Alh Muyideen Aliyu, director general, Kwara State Social Investment Programmes (KWASSIP), Abdulquawiy Olododo, Ilorin East LGEA secretary, Malam Raufu Asude and Hon. Olokoto, member of the board of a signpost government agency- Kwara Harmony Holdings Ltd.
