A People Democratic Party (PDP) House of
Representative aspirant, Ms Aisha Osori, has dumped the PDP for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) after emerging winner on the
PDP platform.
Osori made the announcement on Tuesday in
Abuja while briefing newsmen at the APC
national secretariat.
NAN recalls that Osori emerged winner at the
just concluded AMAC/Bwari federal constituency primary in the Federal Capital
Territory.
Osori, who was presented with the membership
card of the APC, told newsmen she decided to
carpet-cross after watching the APC primary because she believed in Osibanjo, who was her lecturer at one time.
"I decided to denounce membership after
watching the APC conduct its presidential primary in a fair and competitive manner and after seeing the combination of Osibanjo and
Buhari, both men of integrity.
"Osibanjo used to teach me at the University of Lagos, faculty of law, I believe that is a great combination that would move the country forward and I want to be part of that team," she said.
According to her, the APC slogan 'Change' is enough reason to support the party as she was sure of winning the on the platform of APC.
Osori noted that more than 70 per cent of Nigerians were youths who wanted the change that "APC represents".
On what her contribution would be to ensure the success of the APC at the general elections, Osori, who is the CEO of the Nigerian
Women's Trust Fund, cited experience.
"The years of experience I garnered in the private sector as a lawyer and also as writer, first with Thisday and later with Leadership
newspapers will be of value to APC.
Reacting to the defection, the APC National Secretary, Mai-Mala Buni, who presented the membership card to Osori, expressed delight because his party was waxing stronger by the
day.
"Such event will be a continuous thing. Our
doors are open. Everybody, who is ready to join the party, is welcome anytime, any day," he said.
