The Defection of 5 PDP Governors Ensured Victory For APC - Gov. Okorocha

At a valedictory dinner organized by the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), and held in honour of outgoing All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, Gov. Okorocha attributed APC’s victory at the 2015 polls to the defection of governors Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano, Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto, Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers States.

Okoracha said that, “make no mistake about it, without the five Governors that joined the APC in 2013, we would not be here today”.

Okorocha who is the chairman of the PGF, said the five governors took an enormous risk given what he described as a “vindictive” Federal Government.

He further said that the defections transformed“a fledgling opposition into a national political movement”.
