JUST IN: APC Chieftain Dumps Ruling Party

An aspirant for the seat of Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Muslihudeen Adekilekun, on Saturday, dumped the ruling party, Newsbreak reports.

Adekilekun left the APC for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Lately, NNPP has been gaining new members massively, especially in Kano State, thanks to a former Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Citing imposition of candidates for his decision to exit the APC, Adekilekun complained that APC leaders are fond of imposing candidates during party’s primaries.

“The APC, particularly in Edeland, operates like a cult. It has become a party that encourages bribery over loyalty, prefers godfatherism to popularity/acceptability, honours and lords newcomers over faithful members, and goes for manipulation instead of integrity.

“Since it is now as clear as daylight that the leadership of the party in Edeland are hell bent on denying me the opportunity to offer a quality representation to my esteemed constituency, I was left with no option but to seek an alternative political party where I will have the opportunity to prove my mettle against their anointed candidate in the general election. And my new party is the New Nigeria Peoples Party,” Adekilekun said.
