Kwara PDP Former Guber Aspirant, Alikinla Defects To APC

A former gubernatorial aspirant in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, Barr. Saadudeen Abdullahi Alikinla, has announced his defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Eko Hot Blog reports that Alikinla, who was an ally of Senator Bukola Saraki, moved into the APC with thousands of his followers, promising that all his structures across the 16 Local Government Areas of the State will work to deliver Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Alikinla made his defection official at a ward meeting of the APC in Jeunkunu Ward of Moro Local Government, saying he’s marvelled by the superlative performance and landmark achievements of Governor AbdulRazaq.

The new decampee was also a former commissioner of tertiary education under the administration of Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed. He was known as ‘Akobi Saraki’ due to his loyalty to the former Senate President. This defection is another depletion in the ranks of Saraki’s loyalists as many others have left him recently to pitch their tents with the incumbent Governor.

“Recall that I was a former governorship aspirant under the PDP. So, I have my structures across the 16 Local Government Areas of the State. All of these structures will work for Governor AbdulRazaq and we will deliver him,” Alikinla who works with the grassroots said.

He was received into APC by TIC chairman of Moro Local Government Mallam isiaka Ganiyu Alikinla who described him as a strong politician with heavy presence at the grassroots, adding his defection is a plus for the party. The TIC chairman was joined by the APC Chairman in Jeunkunu Ward and several other stakeholders.
