1,000 Obasanjo’s loyalists dump PDP for APC in Ogun By Sylvester Ugwuanyi on November 8, 2014 You might also like Send your press release/articles to: [email protected] Follow @DailyPostNGR on Twitter and on Facebook READ: Latest Breaking News READ: Latest Celebrity News, Gossip The frosty relationship between former president, Olusegun Obasanjo and the national leadership of the PDP assumed a new dimension yesterday as no fewer than 1000 supporters of Obasanjo led by his strong ally and a one-time national treasurer of the party, Bode Mustapha defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State. The defecting Peoples’ Democratic Party members warned the Inspector General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba against plunging the country into war following his removal of the security details of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal. Mustapha, who served as a member of the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 and had earlier submitted his form of intent for the Ogun Central Senatorial seat described APC as a better alternative to PDP. He led other prominent members of the PDP, including the former Chairman of Abeokuta North, Sunday Akintona to move over to the APC. Berating the IGP for withdrawing Tambuwal’s security aides, Mustapha noted that the continued absence of the security aides attached to the speaker could expose him to sundry security risks particularly the Boko Haram sect members, who had attacked prominent persons in the country. He said, “In Nigeria, we love sentiments a lot. Do we know what can happen to Nigeria if anything should happen to Speaker Tambuwal? Nobody knows! The IGP should not put this country on fire. He should immediately restore Tambuwa’s security aides until a court of competent jurisdiction declares his seat vacant.
