2019: Dogara defects, picks PDP forms


Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, may have finally defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.

Our correspondent gathered on Wednesday night that the embattled speaker had picked the PDP nomination and expression of interest forms to return to the House in 2019.


A member of the National Working Committee of the party, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity,  said that the speaker had picked the forms.

“Yes, he had picked our forms, but don’t quote me, he has joined us,” the source said last night.
Dogara had two days ago expressed his desire to return to the National Assembly in 2019 when members of his constituents visited him in Abuja.

However, he refused to state the political party that he would use to facilitate his ambition.
The Speaker had been having running battles with the leadership of the APC in both his state, Bauchi and at the national level.

Just like the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, who had defected to the PDP from the APC,  Dogara had also absent from the activities of the ruling party.


Our correspondent gathered that the decision by Dogara was necessitated by the fear that his party no longer had faith in him.

The Mandate Movement Amuwo Odofin LGA & Oriade LCDA Endorsed Hon. Risikat Ajoke Adegeye For Rep

*THE MANDATE MOVEMENT OF AMUWO ODOFIN LGA AND ORIADE  LCDA ENDORSED HON. MRS RISIKAT AJOKE ADEGEYE AS THEIR SOLE CANDIDATE FOR THE AMUWO ODOFIN FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY 2019*.



The political atmosphere in Lagos State is gradually taken shape, with the endorsement of the former Lagos State lawmaker who represented Amuwo Odofin Constituency 1, *Hon. Risikat Ajoke Adegeye*, as the sole candidate for Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency in the coming 2019 general elections.

*Hon. Adegeye* popularly called the _*Iya alaanu of Amuwo Odofin*_  is presently a  commissioner at the Lagos State House of Assembly Civil Service Commission. By this endorsement is now the sole candidate of the Mandate Movement of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Amuwo Odofin LGA and Oriade LCDA, market men and women, youth groups, professional groups/ organizations, CDA's, Hausa community, Igbo community, social clubs and the South-south group of the two local governments under her constituency.


Rising from a gathering of the Amuwo Odofin LGA and Oriade LCDA  Mandate Movements stakeholders and members, on Wednesday August 1st, at the 206 garden Festac in Amuwo Odofin LGA, it was agreed that in view of *Hon. Geye* achievements in terms of physical infrastructure, unequalled empowerment and human capital development “we have unanimously chosen her as the only candidate for *Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency 2019*”.


The communique read at the end of the meeting explained that “after extensive brainstorming on the forthcoming 2019 election as it affects the seat of the Federal House of Representative, it was unanimously resolved that *Hon. Risikat Ajoke Adegeye*  remains our best candidate to be elected for the post as the member representing Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency, during the next national assembly election come 2019.”

The communique stated that "*Hon. Adegeye*, a former lawmaker is the only one who never abandoned nor left the people at anytime, a politician who believes in the stability of her constituency, her drive for good governance and development is a testimony of her  unflinching efforts in transforming her constituency.

 The gathering said the mistake of the last federal house of representative election must not be repeated as such popularity, acceptability, and meritocracy must not be sacrificed for pettiness and sentiments. All the unparalleled attributes of *Hon. Adegeye*  are ultimately meant to compliment the efforts of *Governor Akinwumi Ambode and President Muhammad Buhari*, in the economy diversification agenda and the emancipation of the down trodden which is way of life.

It added that besides endorsing her to represent the interest of our great constituency, the gathering explained that she is the only candidate that can guarantee the APC an effortless victory and fetch the Senate, Governor and President the required unequalled votes with her popularity/goodwill across all parties.

The endorsement gathering believed that the Constitution did not put a bar to her aspiration as a one-term Lagos State lawmaker who is aspiring for this  position to represent her people's interest.

She is the most qualified, experienced, philanthropical, popular and acceptable politician to serve as a national legislator in Amuwo Odofin Federal constituency and our believe is that “the value of the experience acquired at the Lagos State House of Assembly could not be discarded and wasted but consolidated upon in the interest of Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency.”


The beneficiaries of her unending goodwill, were not left out as they flooded 206 park to show solidarity and support to *Hon. Adegeye 2019* project as the only one endowed with the requisite requirements to represent the interest of the generality of Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituents irrespective of party, tribe, religion or qualification.
