Former president of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Smart Adeyemi, has called it quit with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Adeyemi contested the Kogi West Senatorial District election in 2015 under the PDP and lost to candidate of the APC, Dino Melaye.
He had been in the Senate from 2007 to 2015.
The former federal lawmaker formally announced his defection from the PDP to the APC on Friday in Abuja.
He told journalists in company with Senators Abu Ibrahim, Olubunmi Adetunmbi among others, that he had no regret leaving the opposition party to the ruling party.
Adeyemi asked his supporters to move enmasse to the APC with him with immediate effect.
The Senator explained that his decision to join APC was to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to develop every part of the country, especially his Kogi West constituency.
