He said the forun was established in 2013 and cut across the 21 local government areas of the state with the aim to bringing PDP to power in 2015.

”Over 5,000 members of our forum in 17 local government areas of the state have defected from PDP to APC and we are trying our possible best to bring other members in the remaining four local governments to APC.”
