Kogi: ADC Chairman Speaks on Alleged Defection To APC

John Adaji, The Kogi State Chairman of Action Democratic Congress, (ADC), has denied decamping from the opposition party

Addressing a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally in Okehi and Adavi Local Government on Saturday, Adaji debunked media reports that he defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC).

Adaji, who described the report as fake, called on the general public to ignore the report.

He further made it known that the ADC did not collapse its structure for another political party as rumoured.

According to him, ” I stand here before you live and direct, that I am the authentic Chairman of the ADC in Kogi State. There can’t be two captains in one ship and here I am with you and with our governorship candidate, Elder Leke Abejide. I also assured that the ADC structure is intact. The man who claimed to be Chairman and said he has decamped to the APC has been expelled from the ADC a long time ago.

“The impostor, who is behind the fake news, had been suspended by the executives of ADC at his Ogga/Omi/Odo-Ara ward in Yagba West LGA for anti-party activities and embezzlement of funds.

“His suspension was ratified at the local government level and forwarded to the State Working Committee, which did the same and forwarded to the National Working Committee which ratified the decisions of the party from the ward to local government and state levels. He was subsequently expelled from the party in October, last year”,
