The immediate past Commissioner for Water Resources in Ondo State, Mrs Yetunde Adeyanju and her supporters on Monday decamped from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a grand ceremony at the PDP Secretariat in Ore, headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Adeyanju said that as a leader of the Women Groups for Akeredolu’s Campaign in 2016 and 2020, she can no longer pretend that all is well with the ruling APC. “The APC has brought so much suffering to the people that, anybody with sympathy for people must exit the party,” Adeyanju said.
She was received into the PDP by the State Chairman of the party, Hon. Fatai Adams and supported by the Governorship Candidate of PDP in Ogun State, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, Deputy Governor-Elect of Osun State, Hon. Kola Adewusi and Dr Eddy Olafeso.
Notable among the defectors from Odigbo include Hon. Ayodele Joseph, former Local Government Chairman, Hon. Taye Oguniyi, former Local Government Vice Chairman, Hon.Sunday Akinjiyan and many others.
In a statement by Leye Igbabo, Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP in Ondo State, the defectors numbering about 3,500 who were well attired in a special Ankara fabric danced and sang to the admiration of the guests.
Earlier, approval for the use of Government Field, Ore was withdrawn without any reason after payment of N200,000.00 which was not refunded.
