With the 2015 general elections coming soon, a good number of Nigerian leaders are switching parties.

The news was confirmed by leaders of LP as well as chieftains of both parties, to reporters in Akure.

According to the Commissioner of Information for the state Kayode Akinmade, the move was due to the “serious pressure” from the leadership of the PDP before and after the Osun governorship election.
