The camp of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State was depleted yesterday with
four prominent leaders from Akure South Local Government leading
thousands of their followers to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The leaders are former Special Assistant
to the Governor on Special Interest, Ifedayo Ologunmeta, former Chief
of Staff to the Akure South Chairman, Tayo Dada, PDP Ward Auditor,
Abayomi Akinbode and Femi Balogun.
Speaking on behalf of the defectors at
the APC State Secretariat in Akure, Ologunmeta said they decided to join
the APC because two of their indigenes emerged as National Assembly
candidates.
Ologunmeta said in the history of the town, no Akure son or daughter has been elected senator.
The former Mimiko’s aide lauded APC for
allowing an Akure indigene, Chief Tayo Alasoadura, to emerge as its
senatorial candidate, urging indigenes to vote for APC candidates.
