Lagos PDP chairman set to defect to APC

By Wale Elegbede and Temitope Ogunbanke

Barring any last minute change of plan, the Lagos State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Moshood Salvador, is set to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Salvador is to join the ruling party with some executives of PDP and about 17 of the 20 PDP Local Government Area chairmen in Lagos State. New Telegraph exclusively learnt that Salvador has been having a running battle with some key leaders of the party in the state over the composition of the State Working Committee (SWC).
Salvador, a former member of the House of Representatives from Lagos between 1999 and 2003 on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), became the state chairman of the party in November 2017. The PDP has not won governorship election in the state since 1999. According to a source within the party who craves anonymity, the pressure on Salvador to defect to the APC is coming from two ends: he wasn’t having it rosy in the party and the leadership of the opposition in the state is also on his neck to dump the PDP.

He said: “The cold war between him (Salvador) and his estranged godfather, Chief Bode George, must have reached its peak. First, it was about the 65-35 per cent of the State Working Committee and later the issue of the killing of Apapa Local Government chairman of the party, Adeniyi Aborishade. “The leadership of the party was already divided between Salvador and George, who is the supreme leader of the party in the state. What we are not sure of is whether the defection came on conditional terms from the APC in Lagos.” Salvador was conspicuously absent on Saturday at the party’s secretariat when a presidential aspirant of the party and former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, paid a courtesy visit to the executives and delegates of the party in the state. He was represented at the parley by the State Secretary, Prince Muiz Dosunmu. Speaking with New Telegraph, yesterday, Salvador confirmed his imminent defection from the PDP, saying that he can’t be working tirelessly for the party and his efforts are being rubbished by some people in the party.

He said: “Yes, it is true that I am leaving the party. How can I be working and somebody will be throwing it into the dustbin? How can I be fetching water into the basket? It is terrible!” The embattled PDP chairman, alongside 10 other party members, was recently arrested and arraigned by the police on two charges of conspiracy and unlawful killing of the Apapa Local Government chairman of the party, Aborishade. Aborishade was murdered on Saturday, July 21, during the PDP’s “visitation meeting” that held at Igbosuku Village, Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

. PDP...... RIP to PDP in the South west

I have even forgotten the existence of PDP in Lagos.

It will be a huge blow to PDP in Lagos if a whole sitting state chairman dumps it. But 'Godfather' Bode George no really like Salvador so I can't say I blame him.

PDP died since their last noise maker went on low key after he was badly defeated

PDP in lagos is no possible mission. And PDP within their confines respects that as a fact..
But APC will never understand the fact that Rivers State is PDP and that should be accepted and respected as well..

Always involving in electoral malpractices in rivers state.. Haba nah!!

Out of prison and into the other party. Salvador is clowning himself and everyone

i really don’t care

Better defect before the party explodes

That party will crumble to grains after the presidential primaries.

Am watching on HDTV

Politicians are just self centered, they only fight for there interest, so I don't celebrate their defection..

Eeewwwoooo.

Another migraine for the wailers.
RIP PDP.

Sai Baba we know.
Sai Baba we want.

GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

D fear of APC

This is the height of ruthlessness!

PDP will regret this game they started. Sadly, they can't complain. Nigerians will eat them raw if they dare.

You no fit chop food finish then come dey complain about the aroma.

obojememe:
i really don’t care

Hahaha, those your packages no be for here o
U wan die?!

What do you expect.. When the likes of Obanikoro defected, na hunger go kill most PDP members in Lagos.. Besides I.don't see PDP winning Lagos so soon.

Lagos the no man's Land.

PDP has totally lost it in south west. The party is in codeine induced sleep in the region .Seems they are not interested in the region again.

I doubt if dey will av up to 25% of votes in presidential election in in d region in 2019

* Lagos...... Defection everyday....remain only bode judge and it old cargo

*Ogun.....Fight to an end btw Kashamu and adebutu everyday. Shote, mr kashamu dat is even financing has been suspended......defection everyday

* Oyo.....in a get down low level

* Osun....big fish like omisore have left to Lp. Some to apc and co

*Ekiti: last governorship election has silence d mr fayose

* ondo: mimiko and his goon has left again + bitterness from last governorship election


Pdp national body even make it worse with d way pdp chairmanship election was conducted.

I dont know if pdp think pple like fani kayode can win Ife talkless of osun.....talkless of sw in general.

I'm sure he is tinubu errand boy

No space for him in the party

Good for him

PDP in Lagos is practically non existence.Few months to election,you can hardly see any PDP posters.
And calling someone who cannot win his ward let alone his LG a godfather is denigrating to s party that once prides itself " biggest" in africa.

Ambode is working, I give it to him again.If anyone is struggling too much with opposition he should check his performance.

nely:
Politicians are just self centered, they only fight for there interest, so I don't celebrate their defection..

self interest indeed, and that is why someone once said that politicians thinks about next election while statemen thinks about generation

Corrinthians:
This is the height of ruthlessness!

PDP will regret this game they started. Sadly, they can't complain. Nigerians will eat them raw if they dare.

You no fit chop food finish then come dey complain about the aroma.

Hahahaha
True words from a great man.
An elder on the table has spoken.

Saraki is the headache for APC useless government. No program no focus on directions. Only propaganda from one Lai to another

I said it earlier that even Lagos PDP members will vote Ambode, if you are still in Lagos as a PDP member be rest assure that nothing for you in the next 4years.that's the real reason most of them are running to where they can earn a means.

But can you blame him though? Bode George has been frustrating him from day one with support from secondus them. He's a politician so he may be doing this to remain relevant and protect his interest, which he is entitled to.
