Popular Lagos politician, Funso Doherty has announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Doherty resigned from the coalition party to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) on Thursday, May 7.
In a statement he personally signed, the Lagos politician cited the growing division among members and leaders of the ADC as his reason for defecting.
He said, “We had hoped that ADC would be the vehicle that would unite the opposition. That is now clearly no longer the case.
“In these circumstances therefore, we must each individually make a decision as to whether to remain with the ADC or move to the NDC,” Doherty said.
According to him, after due consultation, careful deliberation and prayerful reflection, he was convinced that joining the NDC will enable him to deliver the benefits of good governance to Nigerians.
“The battle ahead remains formidable, but I invite you to join us on this exciting, though sometimes turbulent, journey to a brighter future that has been long-promised and that has so far proven elusive, but that is, by the Grace of God, now imminent,” he said.
