I’m not part of Lagos PDP lawmakers planning to defect to APC – Idimogu

The member representing Oshodi-Isolo state constituency 02 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Jude Emeka Idimogu, has debunked a report by a national daily (not The Daily Times) recently that he and other Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers in the assembly are set to decamp to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he is not a party to such move.

Idimogu, who won election to the assembly on the platform of the PDP and of the Igbo ethnic extraction, stated this in a press statement he personally signed and made available to journalists in Lagos, yesterday, adding that he is not in a hurry to move to APC.

He said he is still in the PDP, noting that he has no any plan to move to any other political party for now. Recall that a national daily (not The Daily Times) reported recently that the six PDP lawmakers in the state assembly are set to defect to the APC after months of horse trading and negotiations.

The report also said that the defection is in connection with the crisis rocking the PDP both in the state and at the national levels. Idimogu said that there is no impossibility in the defection as reported but said he still remains a loyal member of the PDP.

“We have not defected yet. We are all still in the PDP to the best of my knowledge. I know there is crisis in our party, in fact, there is crisis in all political parties even in APC, but we are yet to move, we are still with our party.

If we want to move, it will be carried out at the floor of the House or through a press conference, all the reports so far should be counted as rumours.” he posited.
