In a dramatic show of defiance, thousands of supporters who defected from the APC openly set their brooms ablaze, symbolically renouncing their former party and declaring their full alignment with the PDP alongside their leader.

Speaking at the event, Honorable Ayo Adepoju said his decision to join the PDP was based on what he described as the failure of the ruling APC government in Kwara State.

He accused Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of disappointing Kwarans and neglecting those who worked hard to bring the administration to power, stressing that his move is driven by the need to align with a people-oriented platform.

In his remarks, the State Chairman of the party, Honorable Isa Bawa Adamu, expressed delight at the development and warmly welcomed Honorable Adepoju and his supporters into the PDP.

They encouraged the new entrants to prioritize party unity and collective interest, assuring them that the PDP remains a credible platform for aspiration and the delivery of people-oriented leadership.

In his address, the Chairman of the PDP Elders Council and former State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Ishola Balogun Fulani, also known as Lafia, described the massive turnout as a strong political signal, calling it a “subtle red card” to the APC in Kwara South.

Similarly, the PDP Senatorial Chairman for Kwara South, Reverend C.O.S. Fawenu, commended Honorable Adepoju for adding significant value to the party, noting that the sheer number of supporters present indicates that the PDP is steadily coasting toward victory in the coming elections.
