Among those who defected were 10 former councillors, PDP ward chairmen and their supporters, Leadership reports.
Engineer John Ibrahim Ocheje who led the defectors, said, they decided to decamp because they believed the local government can progress better under the All Progressives Congress.
According to him, the people of Ibaji have been voting for PDP since 2003, and they have nothing to show for it.
He explained that under the present administration of Capt. Idris Wada, the people did not enjoy any dividend of democracy that is worth praising.
Ocheje said the people were not happy with the leadership of the PDP, who have neglected them, adding that the area could not remain with PDP while there was continuous dearth of basic social amenities.
“We need a sense of direction through a purposeful leadership. I am decamping because of my people; they need the leadership that could lead them into a positive change that will reflect in their lives.
“This is the right time for Ibaji people to belong to the mainstream of Nigerian politics. APC is a party of development; that is why all the states governed by the party enjoyed significant development,” he said.
Mr. Daniel Isah, the zonal leader of APC in Kogi East, who received the defectors, applauded their courage.
According to him, they would be able to enjoy the dividends of democracy under the APC if they always spoke with one voice.
It’s been defection gallore among Nigerian politicians, who have been cross-carpeting from one party to the other. Before and after the 2015 general elections, some defected to the APC, others defected to the PDP, while some others defected to other parties.
