Twenty three (23) members of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Wednesday, dumped APC for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The lawmakers made this known within 24 hours after Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed announced their exit from the ruling party.
The lawmakers’ resignation was contained in a letter read by the Speaker of the State legislature, Rt. Hon. Alli Ahmad, on Wednesday.
Ahmad said that the lawmakers alleged that their move was informed by factionalization of the ruling party at the local level.
After the letter was read, all defecting members, including the speaker, appended their signatures to the list of defectors.
The Speaker said, “I am so happy leaving the APC today.”
