The 2023 Kogi State governorship candidate of the Action Alliance, Olayinka Braimoh, has dumped his party for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Braimoh made the announcement on Saturday in Kabba, the headquarters of Kabba-Bunu local government of the state.
The ex-governorship candidate said his decision to join ADC was borne out of his desire to bring change to the leadership terrain of Kogi States, calling on indigenes to be a part of the moving ADC train in the state.
“With the calibre of persons in the party, ADC coalition is the platform under which I believe my vision of a new Kogi state can be actualised.
“The opportunity for the coalition and the need to have like minds work together to move the mountain of poverty and vision less leadership from our dear state, Kogi, motivated me to join ADC, and the party is also a bigger and better platform to contest.
“Kogi state is below in terms of leadership performance, considering the potentials, capacities, and intellectual assets that this state possesses.
“It is like a case of the worst leading the rest of us, while the best of us have not had the opportunity of leading. That is the reason why we decided to join the coalition to move our state forward,” he said.
