A chieftain of APC and one of the gubernotrial aspirants in Ondo state, Chief Olusola Oke, SAN, in a statement he issued on Thursday, welcomed the PDP leaders who recently joined the APC in Ondo state.
Ahead of the November 16, 2024 gubernatorial election, the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) in Ondo state appears to be facing political tsunami with the latest development, as no fewer than 29 influential leaders of the party, who are mostly known associates of the only living former governor of the state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, have dumped the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his statement, Oke said the notable leaders and known politicians are accomplished persons and great leaders in their respective local government areas and Ondo state at large. He said they have come to APC to add value to the progressive family of APC in Ondo state.
Oke, while assuring the people of Ondo state that APC will deliver on good governance said the people of Ondo State will vote for the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Hon Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa in the coming gubernatorial election in Ondo state.
He said the progressive ideals and the landmark projects embarked upon by the party are marks that have made the party the preferred choice of the electorates in Ondo state. Oke said the progressive ideals are the major attractions that attracted the large numbers of the nobale PDP leaders who are worthy politicians in Ondo state to APC.
He therefore welcome them and also assured others that the governor of Ondo State and the leaders of APC will create enough rooms for them and others who will still join the party to thrive politically.
“I welcome these great leaders of the PDP and accomplished men to APC. Their coming to the party will surely add value to APC in the coming election and the future of our great party.”
