APC, 15 other parties move against Saraki
A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress, Chief Iyiola Oyedepo, has said that the APC in the state is in coalition with 15 other parties to wrest political powers in the state from the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
He alleged that Saraki, who is the political leader of the current ruling political elite in the state, had not provided good political leadership in the state.
He listed the the political parties in coalition to include, APC, KOWA, Labour Party, Democratic Alliance, Young People’s Party, Peoples, Peoples Party of Nigeria, Hope Party, YPP, DPC, NNPP, FJP, PDC, and the YDP among others.
Oyedepo spoke with Saturday PUNCH in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on the sidelines of his rousing welcome to Ilorin from Abuja after his defection from the PDP to the APC.
