By Wasiu Owolewa, Ado-Ekiti

Following the sharp division and crisis rocking the Ekiti state chapter of People's Democratic Party, one of the immediate former PDP councillors representing ward 5, Ado-Ekiti LG, Hon. Usman Muhammed has officially decamped to All Progressives Congress today along with his team of supporters.

Hon. Usman while renouncing the membership of his former party PDP for APC at ward 5, described the opposition party as a place not too comfortable to stay any longer.

The former PDP councilor added that the act of benevolence extended to them by His Excellency Dr. John Kayode Fayemi to complete their tenure during the last local administration  prompted his decamp to APC and also to show his act of gratitude for what the governor did.

Hon. Usman  who was well received by the ward chairman, Leaders and party members of APC in ward 5 made it known to  them that many aggrieved PDP members were still coming.

He described PDP in Ekiti state as dead and crisis ridden who is unfit to dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress come 2022 and beyond. 

Hon. Usman's decamp to APC witnessed some drama today as the former PDP councilor tore into  pieces the membership card of his former party, PDP in the public glare.

While welcoming him into their midst, the ward chairman described APC as very accommodating and assured the former PDP councilor of fair treatment. 

Recall that the state chapter of People's Democratic Party (PDP) has been in leadership crisis with its members sharply divided. 

The latest is the state congress which produced parallel executives.

Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time. I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide. These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives. I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands. In the area of security, we have changed the Service Chiefs and the Inspector-General, and we are demanding that they rise fully to the challenge...
