Ekiti 2022: APC chieftain Ayo Ogunlade defects to ADP, picks Reps form
A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Ayo Ogunlade, has defected to the Action Democratic Party (ADP).
Mr Ogunlade who announced this on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti while addressing journalists, said he had defected and also picked a form to contest the seat of the Ekiti North Federal Constituency 1 at the National Assembly on the platform of ADP.
He said that he joined ADP due to the rare leadership value and skills noticed in the person of Kemi Elebute-Halle, the party’s governorship candidate.
Receiving the defector, ADP executives in the state welcomed Mr Ogunlade and said he would not be treated like a new comer but equal with all members.
Also, the ADP governorship candidate, Mrs Elebute-Halle, said that the presence of Mr Ogunlade in the party was a sign of victory.
