They were warmly received by Governor Yahaya Bello at the Banquet Hall of the Governor’s office on Monday.

Governor Bello, in his welcome address, emphasised that the APC provides equal opportunities for both old and new members.

He encouraged opposition politicians to join the party to contribute their quota to his administration’s efforts at enhancing the socio-economic well-being of the people of Kogi State.

The governor also announced that the state university in Okunland, initiated under his administration, would enroll its first students before the end of his tenure.

Speaking on behalf of the defectors, a former member of the State House of Assembly and immediate past treasurer of the PDP in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area, Hon (Barr) Alfred Bello, highlighted the governor’s exceptional infrastructure development and exemplary leadership, characterised by inclusiveness, fairness, justice and equity as the reasons for their defection to the APC.
