Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter, Chief Henry Ajomale has said that former Minister of State and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro would officially decamp to the ruling party in a matter of weeks.
Ajomale told newsmen in Ikeja on Wednesday that Obanikoro was coming along with other bigwigs of the state’s PDP.
The party chairman said Obanikoro and others had reached out to the party to resolve their issues with it and that all was set for their formal defection.
He said Wednesday’s defection of PDP bigwig, Prince Lukman Ajose, would open a flood gate of defections from the PDP to the APC in the coming days.
“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 said.
Ajomale 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.
Ajomale described as false allegations in some quarters that the party was imposing candidates in some council areas.
He said those making the allegations were blackmailers who were not sure of themselves and their ability to win at the party primary.
“It is pure blackmail. There is nothing like that. Everybody will be allowed a level playing ground,” he said.
