Lai Mohammed’s Supporters Dump SDP

Thousands of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who dumped the party for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kwara State are begging to return.

The erstwhile APC members, who are loyal to the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had joined the SDP in April this year after the national leadership of the party recognised the faction belonging to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazak.

Prior to their departure to the SDP, the former APC members had been at loggerhead with Governor Abdulrazaq over the control of the party’s structure since the APC took over power through ‘O To Ge’ (enough is enough) movement in the state.

Speaking to the journalists at weekend, a top leader in the state, who is an associate of the state governor, said the returnees had thought that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, will be denied the party’s ticket and will consider the SDP as his second option.

“The former APC members who left our party in April this year for SDP are already begging to return to our fold.

They hinged their hopes on the fact that Tinubu will have the second option of SDP if denied the APC ticket. So, they moved to SDP so as to work with Tinubu and jettisoned the party at the state level.
