Over
one thousands supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the
Alliance for Democracy (AD) in Oke-Agbe, local government headquarters
of Akoko North West in Ondo State, yesterday, defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
The defectors were led by their leaders,
a chieftain of the PDP, Hon. Gabriel Talabi and the Secretary of AD in
that council, Mr. Sunday Akindeji.
They officially dumped their old parties
at the campaign rally of the APC governorship candidate, Mr.
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN at Oke-Agbe.
They were received by Akeredolu, the
Director General of his Campaign, Rt. Hon. Victor Olambitan, Engr. Ade
Adetimehin, Tunji Abayomi among others.
Talabi lamented the neglect of the local
government area by the outgoing PDP administration in terms of roads
and other social amenities.
He stressed that they have decided to join the
progressive party and also believes that if Akeredolu emerges, Akoko
will not be neglected.
Abayomi, promised to deliver the local government area to APC on November 26.
Akeredolu
and Olabimtan who spoke respectively at the rally promised to correct
the mistakes of the past in the local government if APC wins the coming
governorship election.
They thanked the defectors for their
support and equally urged them to beware of the antics of desperadoes
who are deceiving people around that APC had collapsed its structure
with AD.
They insisted that APC remains intact in
the State and it is mentally, intellectually and physically ready to
end the age-long underdevelopment that had enveloped the state in the
last eight years.
