APC promises transparent primaries in Kebbi
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Enugu State, and the governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2011 election, Mr. Valentine Nnadozie, has defected to the Peoples Democratic Party along with his supporters.
A statement from the Office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor said Nnadozie announced his defection to the PDP during a solidarity visit with his followers to Governor Sullivan Chime at the Government House.
According to the statement, Nnadozie said the decision to join the PDP was influenced by the achievements of the party in Enugu State and also at the federal level.
Nnadozie, during the solidarity visit, told Chime and the leaders of the PDP in the state that he was coming to the party with over eighty percent of the more than 300,000 registered members of the APC in Enugu State.
Nnadozie, who was a member of the PDP before moving to the defunct ACN to contest the 2011 governorship election, pleaded with Chime and the leaders of the PDP to re-admit him and his supporters as lost sheep into the fold.
We have come sir, to ask you and PDP to kindly re-admit your lost sheep into the PDP family, having gone to the wilderness over these years.
We have come to identify with you and the transformation agenda ofPresident Jonathan and the giant strides of your administration in Enugu State.
We have come to pledge our loyalty to you and the PDP, he said.
Nnadozie explained that his sojourn in the APC had deprived him of the platform to talk for his people, as, according to him, the opposition partys ideologies negated his own political philosophy.
We have come to work together with you and PDP to move our dear Enugu State forward and to the next level, he told Chime.

Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun | credits: File copy
The crisis in All Progressives Congress in Ogun State deepened on Sunday as one of the special advisers to the Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Mrs. Abimbola Lanre-Balogun; defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Lanre-Balogun, was Special Adviser on Environment to the governor until Thursday last week, when she resigned her appointment.
Explaining the reason for her defection, at a PDP stakeholders meeting at the Goodluck Jonathan Political Centre in Ijebu-Igbo, Lanre-Balogun, said she was tired of enduring the style of governance being adopted by Amosun, which she described as family affair.
She further alleged that Amosun was running a government of me, myself and my family.
Lanre-Balogun told journalists shortly after her defection that her passion to work for the good people of the state necessitated the action, alleging that the Amosun-led administration had made her redundant.
She said, I have been in this government (Amosuns) since inception. I was sworn in as Special Adviser on Environment precisely on the July 21, 2011 and we swung into action. Like I always say, I have a passion for hard work, I set out to do so and began to do what God sent me to do for the good people of Ogun State.
I began to work day and night when I was in the Ministry of Environment. It got to a stage that the governor himself called me to the executive meeting and he acknowledged my contribution.
But along the line, I didnt know what happened, I just saw that work was no longer coming and I went to him and said Sir, I dont like being bored, I want to work and thats why Im here.
He said the position was just for me to occupy and that the people doing the work were there. And who were the people doing the work? Just five people himself, his brother, his cousins and members of his family. We were not given anything to do.
