Member representing Kabba-Bunu state constituency in the Kogi State House of Assembly, Prince Kolawole Matthew has debunked reports claiming he is planning to dump Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Anthony Oloniruha, the Media Assistant to Kolawole, made this known in a chat with Kogireports.

He attributed the defection rumour to activities of political jobbers and detractors who are bent on creating issues where there is none.

“I am not surprised at the new attempt by mischief makers to malign Prince Kolawole Matthew, the Majority Leader of Kogi State House of Assembly. It is not new. A few days ago they came up with a story that he collected N48million from the state government and share same to Honourable members of the House to facilitate 2017 budget passage”, he said.

“After they had failed woefully to curry public opinion against Honourable members about the bribery allegation saga, they have managed to wriggle out of their subdued cocoons to fabricate another pseudo fallacy that the Majority Leader is defecting to APC along with four other PDP Lawmakers.

“The Majority Leader is the link man between the lawmakers and the Executive. In view of his position and incidentally being in the PDP and the Governor in APC, it is natural for people to insinuate what is unthinkable.
“Prince Kolawole has high regards for the leadership of his party, the People’s Democratic Party and platform that gave him a rare privilege to serve his people.
“If, par adventure, he sees the need to defect to the another political party, the people and stakeholders who gave him the mandate would be in the picture and first be briefed before he take such a vital decision.
“For clarity purpose, Hon. Prince Kolawole Matthew has not considered nor confided in anyone that he is defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
