The Southwest faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
loyal to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has defected to the Mega Party of Nigeria
(MPN).
The group said the inflammatory statement of Ekiti state
governor, Ayodele Fayose and removal of the names of some of the leaders of the
party in the region at Abuja meeting yesterday was responsible for their
decision to leave the party.
The Southwest chairman of the group and former chairman of
PDP in Ondo State, Hon. Ebenezer Alabi who addressed journalists at the
regional secretariat of the party in Ibadan yesterday said the Southwest PDP
are resolute to leave the party for governor Fayose and his cohorts.
