Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Hezekiah Bamiji, has described the defection of two senators who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a miscalculation by the lawmakers.
Amid the speculation about Governor Adeleke’s possible defection to the ruling APC, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East, and Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi, representing Osun Central, decamped to the ruling party on Wednesday.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Thursday, Bamiji said the federal lawmakers dumped the PDP because they thought the governor was planning to join the APC.
According to him, the lawmakers miscalculated by falling into the trap of the ruling party.
Bamiji said, “Maybe what I can say is a kind of miscalculation on the part of the lawmakers. The rumour perhaps overwhelmed them, thinking that the governor was coming, they felt that they were Abuja politicians and should be faster than the governor.
