Lugard House, Lokoja. The leader of the defectors, Mr Awe Kayode, said that they decided to collapse their structure into APC in order to support the party’s governorship candidate, Usman Ododo, in the forthcoming Nov. 11 governorship poll. Kayode also said that their defection became imperative when they realised that LP was no longer viable in the state.
Kayode added that their decision to collapse the LP structure into APC was to join forces with the progressives to actualise the Kogi Agenda which sought to further unite the people and ensure even development across board. Similarly, the LP chairman for Bassa LGA, who doubles as the chairman of LP Chairmen Forum, Jimba Emmanuel, noted that a political party was just a platform to power.
