Patricia Etteh
Former Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Patricia Olubunmi
Etteh, yesterday defected to the ruling All progressive Congress APC with
thousands of her supporters in Irewole, Ayedaade and Isokan Federal
constituency in Osun State.
The former speaker, in a rally led by
the Governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, drumming support for the
candidates of APC in this month’s elections noted that her coming to the party
was long overdue.
Etteh told the huge crowd that she
decided to join the APC because of the party’s progressive policies and the
love for the masses, saying that her decision was to join the progressives so
that she will be able to contribute her quota to the development of the people.
She commended Governor Aregbesola for
the positive change he has brought to the state in the past four and a half
years, noting that the transformation of the state under APC is glaring for all
to see.
Aregbesola while admitting the former
Speaker and her supporters in Ikoyi, Apomu, Ikire, Araromi Owu, Orile Owu and
Gbongan, enjoined voters in the local government areas and the whole state to
vote for all the candidates of APC across board.
Aregbesola emphasised that the
victory of August 9 governorship election in the state would be boosted with
the party securing all the seats available both in upper, lower and the
Legislative chambers.
He pointed out that change can only
come when the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari comes to power
by May 29 this year.
He said: “February 14 and 28
elections are significant for the change that Nigerians have been clamouring
for, we need not say much. Our good work has been speaking for us, we plan do
more than what we have done in the last four years.
“We can only do more with your
support by voting all our party members in the forthcoming elections. I also
want to use this opportunity to thank you for standing behind us during the
last August 9 governorship election.
“We are here again to ask for your
votes for our presidential candidate and every other candidate in your Federal
constituency. We must show to the world that Osun is completely APC,” The
governor emphasised
