Senator Smart Adeyemi, on
Friday formally defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from his
erstwhile Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The lawmaker who was defeated
by Senator Dino Melaye in last year’s election for the Kogi West Senatorial
seat briefed newsmen in Abuja in company of Senators Abu Ibrahim, Olubunmi
Adetunmbi among others.
The former NUJ President who
was a member of the 6th and 7th Senate said he has no regret dumping the PDP,
urging his supporters to immediately move en masse to the APC.
He explained that his decision
to join the ruling party was to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s
determination to develop every part of the country, particularly his Kogi West
constituency.
