Loyalists of sacked national
chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff and Senator
Buruji Kashamu (PDP-Ogun East) on Wednesday dumped the party.
They defected to the Mega Party
of Nigeria (MPN) at its Oyo state secretariat in Ibadan, the state capital.
Our correspondent gathered that
the building is owned by Kashamu.
DAILY POST reports that among
those who defected are the Senator’s Senatorial Liaison Assistant (SLA), Otunba
Adeleke Adekoya and Ebenezer Alabi, running mate to Jimoh Ibrahim, factional
PDP Ondo candidate backed by Kashamu and Sheriff.
Recall that the Mega Progressive
Peoples Party (MPPP) on Tuesday announced that it will change its name to
Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN).
National Chairman of the party,
Hon. Hamisu Santuraki, said the party registered in August 2010 by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would also change its logo and
move to its new national secretariat in Abuja.
He explained that the new name
would be ratified at its emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting
coming up on July 25 in Abuja.
The party said other issues for
consideration at the NEC meeting are preparations for the November 18 Anambra
State governorship election and the state of the nation.
“We are on top gear for the Anambra governorship election coming up in November 18.
“We are also working for the 2019 general election and part of our strategies was changing the party name to Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN) from the Mega Progressive Peoples Party (MPPP). We are also changing the logo.
“This is the wish of party members to rebrand the party for greater achievements. The NEC would also discuss the state of the nation and come up with its position formally,” Santuraki said.
