The Lagos4Lagos Movement, a splinter group within the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, says it is set to take over the state.
Members of the group on Saturday voted in favour of
defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Senate President Bukola Saraki had visited Lagos to
meet with the leaders of the aggrieved APC splinter group.
Saraki is the chairman of PDP’s national reconciliation
committee.
The meeting came weeks after delegates of the PDP led by
Raymond Dokpesi, former chairman of Daar Communications, had visited the group
on November 8.
The group is expected to make official the defection of its
members to the PDP on December 8.
Lagos4Lagos Movement, led by Olajide Adediran, held parallel
local government congresses in September.
Speaking with NAN on the planned defection, spokesman of the
group, Kazeem Bakare said there is no going back.
“The die is cast actually because the argument has been that
we can’t make any change elsewhere,” he said.
“We have exhausted all processes of reconciliation within
the APC. Even at that, we are law-abiding.
“We have what it takes to win elections and that is why we
are taking our leave.
“We believe in a few
weeks, unfolding events will tell Lagos residents that we are ready to take
over the state for the good of Lagos state.”
