Saraki welcomes ACN members to PDP

The immediate past governor of Kwara State and senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has welcomed decampees from the Action Congress of Nigeria in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Saraki promised them that they would be treated fairly and accorded all the privileges enjoyed by older members of the party.
Senator Saraki assured the ACN decampees that they would be partakers in the prosperity that the PDP government in the state offers.
Saraki, who informed the decampees that opposition parties in the state are overwhelmed by the performance of the PDP government and have thus remained virtually non-existent except on the pages of newspapers, urged them to work assiduously in spreading the values and programmes of the PDP government across the state.
Earlier, the leader of the ACN decampees and Secretary, Muhammad Dele Belgore Forum, Abdulazeez Kasim, and the Woman Leader, Madam Titilayo Ojo, said the decampees were disilussioned by the unfulfilled promises of the ACN and impressed by the purposefulness and developmental efforts of the PDP-led government in Kwara State.
According to Abdulazeez: “The promise of the ACN gubernatorial candidate in the 2011 general election, Barrister Dele Belgore, SAN, to provide 2,000 jobs for ACN youths, regardless of the outcome of the election, has remained a mirage.”
Meanwhile, the state government is to provide another 2,000 jobs under the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme before the end of June.
This was made known by a member of the SURE-P committee in the state, Alhaji Ganiyu Olododo, while addressing the PDP stalwarts in the state.
