A lawmaker at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Bonu Solomon Saanu, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his administration’s giant strides so far.
Hon. Bonu, who represents Badagry Constituency I, gave the commendation while addressing his colleagues on the floor of the Assembly during plenary.
According to the lawmaker, only a leader like Tinubu can attract top opposition elements from other political parties to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bonu, while speaking against the backdrop of the recent defection of Senator Ned Nwoko of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed optimism that before 2027, APC would have garnered increased support from other parties.
Senator Nwoko presented his resignation letter to the PDP leadership in Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, on January 30, 2025.
In the letter, Nwoko complained about the state of the PDP. He also cited deep divisions and irreconcilable factions as the primary reasons for his defection.
“My decision to resign is, first and foremost, due to the deep divisions and factionalisation within the party.
This fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people,” he said.
Reacting, Bonu said, “The defection of Senator Ned Nwoko to the APC is a testament to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s achievements in office.
“Nigerians are beginning to see how much their President means well to them, his passion for development and progress, and his commitment to ensure Nigeria is great enough for Nigerians.”
He hoped that his colleague, Hon. Foluke Oshafile, the only Labour Party member in the Lagos Assembly, would defect to the APC before the next general elections.
