A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in Yagba East Local Government Area of Kogi State, Elder Leke Abejide, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The politician, the chairman of Abejide Foundation, defected at the weekend with his supporters.
Addressing a rally at the Community High School, Alu, he listed 10 reasons for leaving the PDP, saying he and his supporters defected because the PDP government had derailed from its objectives.
Abejide said they were disenchanted with the leadership style of Governor Idris Wada and the lack of internal democracy in the PDP.
He said the PDP administration abandoned the tenets of good governance and set the state on the path of backwardness.
Abejide said the PDP was bedevilled by intra-party squabbles and manipulation by the leaders.
He said he was moving to the APC with his followers from 11 wards in the local government and enjoined Yagba people to shun sentiments and embrace change.
