Musiliu Obanikoro, former Minister of State for Defence and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Obanikoro announced his defection at a press conference, in Lagos, on Tuesday.
He was received by a former chieftain of the PDP, Lukman Ajose, who also recently defected to the APC.
Obanikoro had earlier apologised and reconciled with National leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Recall that Lagos APC chairman, Henry Ajomale, some time ago, had boasted that Obanikoro would soon join the party.
The party chairman said the former Lagos PDP governorship candidate and others had reached out to the party and that all was set for their formal defection.
