She disclosed this to newsmen in Akure on Sunday.

Akindele-Martins was the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in November 2016 election in the state.

She was also the running mate to Dr. Olu Agunloye of the SDP in the last governorship election in the state.

Akindele-Martins was also the Ondo State Woman Leader of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

She said she had resigned her membership of the SDP and was defecting with thousands of her supporters in all the 18 local government areas of the Ondo State to PDP.

“Absolutely, I am leaving SDP with thousands of my supporters in the 18 local government areas of the state to join PDP,” she said.

She said that SDP, as a party, did not have the commitment to effect any change of government in 2019 and was not well positioned to wrestle power from APC.

She said all was now set for her to join formally the PDP with her supporters as all arrangements had been concluded.

Akindele-Martins, who is from Okitipupa in Ondo South Senatorial District, expressed regret that the area had been neglected by the current administration, hence the need for her to pitch a tent with the PDP to save the people from the “shackles of APC government in the state.”

Shukuakukobambi:
Has the CUPP broken already? Is there no coalition again? Why dumping SDP for PDP? Are they no longer working together?

Crocky23:
She's just making sure she's in good stead when the second avalanche hits APC.
