The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Alimosho faced a
significant blow as Honorable Babatunde Agunbiade, a prominent member and
former contender for the House of Representatives, officially defected to the
All Progressives Congress (APC). This political shift has ignited discussions
within the political landscape of Alimosho, Lagos, raising questions in
political quarters.
A rally to mark his defection, held on Saturday, December
2nd, 2023, witnessed the presence of Agunbiade's supporters, party faithful,
and leaders of the Alimosho APC.
In his address at the rally, Hon. Agunbiade cited the country's
best interests and his supporters' yearnings as the primary motivation for his
decision to switch allegiance. He expressed dissatisfaction with the PDP's
leadership and lack of direction, emphasizing his belief in the APC's
commitment to national unity. Further explaining his decision, Agunbiade
highlighted the APC's presentation of a presidential candidate from a different
region other than that of the former president unlike the PDP which presented a
candidate from the same region, demonstrating an inclusive approach to
governance.
