Lagos PDP Chieftain Ayodeji Da-Silva to Join APC

Ayodeji Da-Silva, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He cites his desire to align with the APC's progressive policies as a motivating factor for this decision.

Da-Silva, who has a background in healthcare and has spent 20 years in the PDP, believes that the APC provides a viable platform for implementing forward-looking policies that can drive national growth. He emphasizes the importance of political leadership in achieving sustainable development, particularly in the healthcare sector, where he has built a career, including serving as a regional director for a health maintenance organization in Detroit, Michigan.

Da-Silva's political involvement dates back to his student years, during which he held leadership positions and contested for electoral office, including the Lagos West senatorial seat. He urges Nigerians to remain patient, likening government reforms to a gradual process, and acknowledges the challenges in developing the nation while noting progress in areas like technology and real estate.
