APC set to officially receive Obanikoro, host of other PDP bigwigs – Ajomale

Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Henry Ajomale, has disclosed that former Minister of State for Defence Musiliu Obanikoro will be official welcomed into the party soon.

Obanikoro, before now was a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP.

Ajomale, was addressing  newsmen in Ikeja, yesterday, when he gave the hint, adding that Obanikoro is coming into the APC along with other bigwigs of the state’s PDP.

He said the former Defence Minister and others had reached out to the party to resolve their issues with it and all was set for their formal defection.

The party chairman also said that Wednesday’s defection of another PDP bigwig, Lukman Ajose, would open a floodgate of defections from the PDP to the APC in the coming days.

He said, “We welcome Prince Ajose to the APC. His defection is a plus for us.

“But, Ajose is not the only one joining us. Some of the bigwigs in the PDP, including Obanikoro, will be joining us soon. I don’t want to give you a particular date, but all I can tell you is all is set.”

He added that the coming of Ajose into the party, as well as other PDP members would add value to the party and enhance its electoral fortune.

According to him, their coming was particularly gladdening as the party was preparing for the council poll and making early preparations for the general election in 2019.
