Ex-Lagos PDP Chair Defects to ADC, Cites Betrayal by Party Leaders

Former Lagos PDP Chairman, Shelle, resigned from the party and defected to the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing betrayal within the PDP. Shelle's departure is viewed as a significant blow to the PDP's structure in Lagos, weakening its opposition role in the state.

He criticized the party's leadership, particularly Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing them of betrayal and lack of discipline. Shelle's move highlights the internal divisions within the PDP and the challenges it faces in retaining key figures amidst the formation of new opposition coalitions like the ADC.
