Former House of Representatives Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, is on his way to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bankole was the candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) during the 2019 governorship election in Ogun.
News of his planned defection comes weeks after Gbenga Daniel, a former governor of Ogun state, decamped to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A statement issued by the Mamman Mohammed, spokesman of Mai Mala Buni, Yobe governor and chairman of APC caretaker Committee revealed that the Ogun-born politician met with Yobe Governor and Chairman APC Caretaker Committee, Mai Mala Buni, on Friday.
According to the statement, “The three leaders discussed on a wide range of political issues, including the movement of the former speaker and his supporters into APC.
Meanwhile, the national president of ADP Yabayi Sani has reacted to the planned move, noting that he would not be surprised if the former speaker has decided to join the party.
“That is typical of an average Nigerian politician. They are only good in sharing, not in building,” he said.
