Lagos – Some 2, 000 members of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Lagos, led by Mr Abdulkareem Rafiu, a former security aide to Gov. Babatunde Fashola, on Saturday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Rafiu told PDP big wigs and party faithful who were at the state party secretariat in Ikeja, where the defectors were formally accepted, that the ACN had not lived up to expectation.
“I believe the PDP is the party that would bring back the dream Lagos,” Rafiu, popularly called “Otto’’ , said.
NAN reports that on hand to receive the defectors were PDP bigwigs, including its former National Deputy Chairman, South-West, Chief Olabode George, former governor of Ekiti, Mr Segun Oni, and former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope.
Addressing the defectors and party members at the event, George said that a PDP-led administration would never disappoint the people of Lagos.
“I am delighted that many people in the ranks of the ACN are now seeing the light,” he said.
Oni, who also spoke at the event, informed the gathering that by 2015, PDP would form the next government in Lagos State. He called for unity among the party members.
Earlier in a welcome speech, the state chairman of the party, Chief Tunji Shelle, urged the members to join hands to move the PDP forward.
“Let us move this party to a position in which the teeming masses of Lagos State, who have suffered so much, can find succour,” he said.

I have not seen people like Yourba politicians jumping from one place to another, and if u look well they are the same people that ran from PDP to ACN when the good was going well for them, they are all the same. Just look when it has come to election time i bet you they will go back and vote for ACN.

Changing of party has nothing to do with the problem of Nigeria..Acn are they not the same people that uses 50 million for ordinary fashola's birthday few months ago. Nigeria is in trouble
Nigeria is in Big soup, People is a party of thieves, I think cos Fashola did not allow those fools to steal, so they run to the party of thieves, well that is not my headache, when will the Nigeria's Boat move a step forward into success?
The fools are busy changing party for selfish interest, is that not one of TINUBU'S antics? maybe he sent them to join PDP so that they will take the PDP secrets and return to ACN.....they are all fools.
if u attack my papa house, I'll retaliate but if you are peace loving,I will embrace you
