5,000 APC, ADC, ADP members defect to PDP in Oyo

At least 5,000 members of All Progressives Congress (APC), Action Democratic Party (ADP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Thursday dumped their parties and defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The defectors were led by a former chairman of the council, Elder Segun Olayiwola, into the PDP at the premises of the local government secretariat in Moniya, Ibadan.

PDP state chairman Alhaji Kunmi Mustapha led a high-powered delegation of state executive council of the party to Moniya to receive the defectors into the party.

Mustapha, who handed over the party’s flag to Olayiwola, commended him for returning to the PDP, saying the party would continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, whilst urging the defectors to return to their wards for registration.
