Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has welcomed Senator Smart Adeyemi to the All Progressives Congress.
The former two-term Senator, few days ago, dumped the People’s Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress. Adeyemi said he has decided to defect in the interest of his people and the nation. He also hailed the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Kingsley Fanwo, the Governor welcomed the former Senator to the party, urging him to work with party leaders in the state to bring real change to the people.
The Governor said the People’s Democratic Party has been losing important leaders to the APC since 2014, urging others who are still in PDP but want the progress of the state to jump ship to the APC in order to move the state forward.
Governor Bello hailed Senator Adeyemi as an experienced politician who will bring his wealth of experience to bear, insisting that the All Progressives Congress remains one big family in the state.
The Governor said he will continue to deliver democracy dividends to Kogi people to give his party a good platform to continue to dominate the political landscape of the Confluence State. He affirmed that the defection of political figures to the party across the state testifies to the renewed confidence of the people in the APC-led government in the state.
