Some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State have defected to the Peoples Democratic Party PDP.
The defection, which took place at the PDP secretariat, Igbara-Oke, the headquarters of the council area, on Monday, had leaders of the PDP in the local government and the state in attendance to receive the defectors.
Welcoming the defectors, the local government chairman of the PDP, Chief Dare Owolafe, assured the new members of justice, fairness and equity among members of the PDP, called on others to join the party, describing it as a winning party.
He said, “We are very happy to have APC members in our midst and we believe that it will boost the moral of our great party, it is a welcome development.”
The immediate past chairman of the party, Mr Clement Faboyede, also described the development as a dawn of a new era, describing the ‘mass defection’ as a consequence of the misrule of the ruling party which has caused untold suffering in the country.
