A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain in Ekiti State, Mr Olakunle Ojo, alongside his supporters on Saturday joined the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state.

They cited alleged polarisation in the opposition party as reason for the action.

Ojo said he felt betrayed with activities within the PDP and as such, “I no longer see the party as a good vehicle with which I and my supporters can advance our political course.”

The politician, who spoke at APC Ward 11, Ado Ekiti where he officially defected to the ruling party, said he detested divisive tendencies.

He said, “I don’t believe in polarisation. I will ensure that all our people are loyal to Governor Kayode Fayemi and the leaders of the APC at all levels.

“My journey started in the PDP, but it was a very awkward and disappointing one. We were not taken care of. I only took an Israelites’ journey by passing through the PDP.

“Let me assure you that I will continue to do my best to promote the APC because I believe that I and my supporters have good future in the party and for the fact that I am a progressive.”

The APC state Deputy Chairman, Sola Elesin, alongside the party’s Chairman, Ado Local Government Area, Mike Akinleye, and Ward 11 Chairman, Adegoke, received the defectors on behalf of the Paul Omotoso-led State Working Committee.

According to him, the party does not discriminate between old and new members.

He assured the new members of bright future in the APC.

“We don’t discriminate against anybody; the new and old members are one,” he said.

Yeebos would soon come and call him names
