Senator dumps APC for Accord Party

Senator Olufemi Lanlehin has dumped the All Progressives Congress for the Accord Party.
Lanlehin said the move was to enable him pursue his political interest.
This was made known in a letter he sent to the Senate President, Senator David Mark.
The letter reads: “I contested and got elected into the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in April 2011 under the Action Congress of Nigeria. The said political party sometimes merged with other registered political parties and now registered and known as the All Progressives Congress.
“In exercise of my constitutional right to freedom of association under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and pursuant to the proviso contained in Section 68(g) of the said Constitution, I decided to transfer my membership of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to the Accord Party, with all the rights and duties accruing thereto.”
