  • Governor Adeleke urged aggrieved All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains to join his "victory train."
  • This call follows recent resignations of several APC leaders, including former commissioners and lawmakers.
  • The statement suggests a move to consolidate political support following defections from the opposition party.

Governor Adeleke has extended an invitation to disgruntled chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging them to join his "victory train." This appeal comes in the wake of a series of defections that have recently impacted the APC, a significant opposition party.

Reports indicate that more than five prominent APC figures have resigned from the party in recent days. Among those who have left are two former commissioners and two former lawmakers, signaling a notable shift in the political landscape. Governor Adeleke's call appears aimed at capitalizing on this internal turmoil within the APC and absorbing its disaffected members.

The governor's message suggests a strategy to bolster his political base by welcoming former members of the opposition. The phrase "victory train" implies confidence in his own political standing and a forward-looking approach to consolidating power and support.
