He said ” the action reflects the wishes of Kwarans who are tired of the misrule of the Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq led administration.

“We are pleased to welcome former Minister Ibrahim Isa Bio and his followers into the Kwara PDP family.

” We applaud his voluntary bold and timely decision to dump the retrogressive and dysfunctional APC and pitch tent with our party that is moving from strength to strength,” he added.

The party spokesman said, as a respected community leader and experienced politician, the party has no doubt that the entry of Bio to the party, will further strengthen the PDP.

“The repositioned Kwara PDP is poised to reclaim power from the APC and deliver good governance to the people of Kwara,” he stated.
