Mrs. Taiwo, a former House of Assembly
aspirant, said she dumped PDP because the party lacks internal democracy. She
said: “I was an ex-officio at the Southwest level, when the party lost the last
general elections in the region due to the selfish interest of some PDP
leaders. We tried to unite members, but some powerful forces, who were only
after their pockets, kept on frustrating our moves. “As a progressive Yoruba
daughter, I think I have taken the right step by joining the ACN. ACN is led by
responsible leaders and I am interested in the development of my state and the
Southwest.
“PDP and the Labour Party (LP) are
dead. I assure you that ACN will win the October 20 governorship election,
because our people are in support of the political and economic integration of
the Southwest being initiated by ACN leaders. Agunloye, who received the
defectors, said many prominent politicians have joined the ACN through the
“Omoluabi” Platform.
“In the last one year, the Omoluabi Platform
has raised the ACN flag, promoted its ideals and supported the party’s cause as
various levels.” Former Commissioner for Transport Omoniyi Omodara and the
Education Secretary of Akure North, Saka Yusuf, were at the event.
