…Hints other bigwigs of the party will join PDP soon
Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi has revealed that many top shots of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state will soon join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The embattled deputy governor who was prevented from leaving Government House by the state Commissioner of Police yesterday spoke today after he joined the PDP at his Apoi Ward 2 , Ese Odo Local Government Area of the State.
His words: “I am here to officially announce to you that as from today I cease to be a member of the APC. I came to tender my resignation letter to the ward chairman.
“The reason I am taking this action is known to all of you. I listened to the advice from all supporters across the state The Ese Odo Local Government will continue to witness peace and progress .
“It is a painful thing that I am leaving the APC but there is time for everything. As a Nigerian, I have the fundamental freedom to belong to any party or group.
“What will happen in this state is going to be like a tsunami as many bigwigs in the APC will be joining the PDP in a matter of days.”
After he collected his party card at the secretariat of the PDP in the same ward where he announced his return to the party Ajayi said: “Everybody all over the world knows why I left the APC. Some hours ago, you all know what happened to me at the Government House but I am a man of peace.”
He described the Police Commissioner’s action at the Government House as a show of shame, saying the CP turned himself to a useful tool in the hands of desperate politicians.
