Jonathan's Female Minister's Husband Dumps PDP For APC

Broom revolution wahala! There appears to be crises in the house of one of President Gooodluck Jonathan’s female ministers as she and her husband are now in two different political parties. The husband of the Minister of State for the FCT, Mrs Olajumoke Akinjide, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, but she has vowed to stick with the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan.

Mrs. Akinjide’s husband, Ahman Pategi, is one of the 37 ex-PDP members of the House of Representatives who defected to the APC on Wednesday.

But she said she will stay with her father, Chief Richard Akinjide in PDP, ignoring her husband…

Mrs. Akinjide, who hails from Ibadan in Oyo State, is married to Hon Ahman Pategi from Kwara State. In her reaction to the latest development, she told Premium Times that she won’t go with her husband.

“I’ll never ever leave the PDP,” she vowed. “The Akinjide family is loyal to the PDP and loyal to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. My father, Richard Akinjide is a founding member of the PDP and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees.”

“I am the arrowhead of the PDP in Oyo State as the minister in an opposition state. I will continue to work hard to ensure the success of Mr. President, the Transformation Agenda, and the success of the PDP at the polls in the 2015 elections.”
