Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed, explains why he left APC for PDP
Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, says his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not borne out of selfish interest.
The Governor spoke in Ilorin on Tuesday when he received the National Executive of Oro Descendents Union (ODU), led by its President, Alhaji Uthman Tunji Balogun, at the Government House.
Ahmed told his visitors that he reluctantly dumped the APC when it became obvious that the people of the state “who delivered a 100% electoral victory to the APC were continuously being marginalized and persecuted”.
According to him, all entreaties to ensure that the people of Kwara state are treated with dignity, equity and justice fell on deaf ears.
