Mr. Dele Belgore (SAN), Action Congress of Nigeria’s governorship candidate in Kwara State during the 2011 election explains his latest controversial defection to the Peoples Democratic Party in this interview withSUCCESS NWOGU

With the Freedom Rally recently held in Ilorin, it seems you have now agreed that the PDP is a party that puts people in bondage since the party has been in the power for some years now in Kwara State?

No.  We have said repeatedly that our issue lies with the way the government of the state was then being run. It is the people at the helm of affairs and their methods that we were complaining about. Those methods have not changed since they joined the APC. That tells you that the issue in Kwara is about the people at the helm of affairs and not necessarily the party.
