A former Minister of State (Defence) and chieftain of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Obanikoro announced his defection at a press conference in
Lagos on Tuesday.
He was received by a former chieftain of the PDP, Lukman
Ajose, who recently defected to the APC.
Obanikoro had earlier apologized and reconciled with
National leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Recall that APC Chairman in Lagos, Henry Ajomale, about a
month ago, said Obanikoro would join APC in a matter of weeks.
Ajomale told newsmen in Ikeja that Obanikoro was coming
along with other bigwigs of the state’s PDP.
The party chairman said the former Lagos PDP governorship
candidate and others had reached out to the party and that all was set for
their formal defection.
