It seem the re-election bid of Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu received is getting easier on a daily basis as the governor received a major boost on Thursday as 5,000 members of the Lagos4Lagos movement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).



The defectors, including leaders and coordinators of governorship campaign team of the candidate of the PDP, Dr Olajide Adediran ‘Jandor’ were received into the APC by the state deputy Governor, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, the state party chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi and members of the state Executive Council at the party secretariat located at Acme Road Ogba.

Though they wore Jandor’s orange-coloured campaign t-shirts to the venue, the defectors later changed to the campaign t-shirts of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, saying their change of uniform signifies the rejection of Jandor and the PDP.

Receiving the new entrants into the party, deputy governor, Hamzat said its a thing of pleasure to welcome the defectors into the Lagos APC.

He said, “I am very happy not because I am welcoming you back into the party but because there is no society that is good without good leaders and people of good intentions.
