ALGON insists Yinka Dallas defected to APC
The suspended local government councils chairmen in Kwara state have insisted that the chairman of Ekiti local government, Comr. Yinka Dallas was part of the decision to move from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressive Congress.
The suspended council boss described the publication of him not part of the defection as “unfounded and baseless”.
In a statement jointly signed by the ALGON chairman, Joshua O. Omokanye and secretary, Abubakar Abdullahi Bata and obtained by THE INFORMANT247 in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, they insisted that though he was not present at APC campaign in Patigi but he consented to a document which he personally accepted and signed along with others to defect to APC on March 9, 2020.
The document of the document he signed was also obtained by our correspondent.
The statement reads in part, “The truth of the matter is that we had all unanimously agreed to join APC as far back as November last year. It is worrisome that someone will consent to defection, sign document to that effect and turnaround to start saying something’ contrary.
“Our presence in Patigi was to openly defect and participate in party campaign ahead of the bye-election held to fill the vacant House of Assembly seat for Patigi Constituency.
“We the remaining 15 chairmen dissociate ourselves from the publication of the suspended Chairman of Ekiti local government, Comrade Yinka Ayeni Dallas that he remains a member of the PDP.”
They thereafter urged him to cease from “dilly-dallying” on the defection of the chairmen to APC.
