Former minister of defence, Mr. Demola Seriki and five other members of the People's Democratic Party in Lagos have defected to the Action Congress of Nigeria [ACN].
The decampees were received at the ACN campaign rally held in Eti-Osa local government area of the state.
According to Seriki, "We have been in Lagos politics for awhile, there are lots of difference between Governor Babatunde Fashola and the so called Dosumu. We, the true indigenes of Lagos state, we know ourselves. Don�t let us throw away our votes�
"We have worked with the Federal government and now is the time to save Lagos State. They are playing politics with Lekki and its environs.
"PDP is dead and after the elections we will do the burial ceremony of PDP. The reason why we are defecting is that PDP is a non people friendly party. They have planned to destabilise Lagos State but we will tell them that Lagos belongs to all of us. The best of Fashola is yet to come."
Alhaji Rasaq in his address said, "let us follow good people and not irredeemable debtors.
"We don�t want criminals, we will not accept criminals, and will not follow criminals and criminals shall not be in charge of the state in Lagos."
ACN chieftain, Senator Bola Tinubu while welcoming the defectors into the fold, expressed confidence in their ability to work hard for the success of ACN in� the coming elections.
Tinubu, however warned PDP whom he said were already fomenting troubles in different parts of the state to steer clear or meet their waterloo. "PDP will meet their match in Lagos."
While addressing members of ACN at the rally, Governor Babatunde Fashola asked the electorates in the state to prepare adequately for the elections.
The decampees assured the party of their commitment to ensure victory for the party in the April elections.
