FORMER MINISTER, SEN. ADESEYE OGUNLEWE DUMPS PDP FOR APC, MEETS TMM CAUCUS LEADERS OF IKORODU DIVISION. | Shakiru Seidu." I can't stay in a Party that's not stable and with people of no focus, Ogunlewe reveals."

Senator Kinsley Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Minister of Works and Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dumped the Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He made this declaration on Wednesday, at the APC Caucus meeting, 'The Mandate Movement' (TMM), of Ikorodu Division, held at Chief Adenrele Olowu's house, Igbogbo, Lagos State.
 
Ogunlewe was elected a Senator on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in 1999, representing Lagos East constituency, before he defected to the PDP, where he has remained a key figure ever since before joining APC. While in PDP, he was appointed Minister of Works by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, lasting in office from July 2003 to March 2006.
 
He has however joined his son, Moyosore in moving from the PDP to the APC. Moyo, a lawyer, contested on the platform of the PDP to represent Kosofe 1 Constituency in the Lagos State Assembly in the just concluded general election, but lost and eventually defected to the rival Party, citing the failure of the PDP leadership to handle the crisis that has engulfed it since the elections.
 
Speaking earlier with Shakiru Seidu of MegaXpression Community Magazine, Sen. Ogunlewe said “Nobody should expect a politician of my stature to stay in a house where some leaders are only after their selfish interests.
 
“What these people cares about is only their selfish interests and not the interest of the party. I am tired of a party running into one problem or the other and I tell you, these people can never change.”
 
Ogunlewe also said he was also joining APC because he was convinced that the Party would zone the Presidency to the South-West in 2023, apart from being a better organised party. Ogunlewe said he would not want to be left out of any arrangement to give the region the presidency in 2023.
 
Among those TMM leaders that received him were the APC Vice Chairman, Lagos East Senatorial District, Asipa Kaoli Olusanya, APC Chieftain, Chief Adenrele Olowu, Member, Seventh Assembly and former Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Hon Adebimpe Akinsola, APC Chieftain, Alhaji S. Amusa, APC LGA Chairmen, amongst other TMM leaders.
