Kogi Poll: Why Clarence Olafemi Want To Dump PDP for APC



A former acting governor of Kogi State and chieftain of the PDP, Clarence Olafemi, has revealed his plan to dump the PDP for the APC over alleged injustices meted out to him.

Olafemi, who was the campaign DG to Abubakar Ibrahim in the last primary election of the PDP, said his party has “cheated” him on several occasions and he therefore could no longer pitch his tent with them.

He said his recent visit to Governor Yahaya Bello was because of what he described as impunity in the PDP.

He said he was one of the strong members of PDP in the state, yet the National Working Committee of the party failed to recognize his input and efforts for the party.



“I was the running mate to Jubril Isah Echocho in the 2015 governorship primary election of the party but we were later replaced by the party which brought in Captain Idris Wada, and Yomi Awoniyi as running mate, without any reason.

“In the 2019 general elections, I was one of the senatorial aspirants from Kogi West, but I was denied from contesting as the party imposed Senator Dino Melaye who just decamped from APC back to PDP.

“My governorship aspirant in the just concluded primary of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim Idris, was denied the ticket. It was given to Engr. Musa Wada because they hate Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, the former governor of the state.

“With all these cases of impunity, how do you expect me to continue staying in PDP? Am not the first person to decamp from one party to another. President Muhammadu Buhari, and my mentor, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, all decamped from one party to another. Am not going to be the first or the last.

“I had a fruitful discussion with Governor Yahaya Bello and I am very satisfied with the outcome of our meeting,” Olafemi said

Image
It is with rude shock it was brought to the ever-busy, too-focused-to-be-distracted attention of Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, a picture where in his father, a former two-time Governor of Kogi State and elder statesman, His Excellency Ibrahim Idris was photoshopped along with Governor Yahaya Bello and his Chief of Staff-turned-running mate, Edward Onoja. First of all, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim wishes to state in clear terms that such Photoshop stands condemned. It is a joke taken too far in the spirit of campaigns. He would not bother responding aside for the fact that we are in a season now of campaigns as a State and alot is out there in the media space already and with anything, a fake news can be sold to the populace in the name of information sharing and campaign. Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim is using this piece to clarify that the picture that was so photoshopped is a picture of himself and his father, Ex-Governor Ibrahim Idris as far back as the early days of August 2019 in which ...
