A one-time chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Adebayo Dayo, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Newsextra24 understands that Dayo pledged his allegiance to the APC on Thursday, January 18, 2024.
The Ogun APC, through its Publicity Secretary in the State, Tunde Oladunjoye, released a statement in Abeokuta on Thursday, expressing that although Dayo’s defection should have occurred earlier, it is nevertheless a positive move in the correct direction.
“We welcome Engr. Dayo into the progressives fold. We salute his courage and hope to tap from his rich grassroots political experience,” the APC statement noted.
The party also reiterated its commitment to ensuring a fair and equal opportunity for everyone, emphasizing that in the APC, there is no distinction between founders and joiners. All members are considered stakeholders and part of the party’s family.
Furthermore, the Ogun APC expressed optimism that in the coming days, more members of the Ogun state PDP will defect and align themselves with the honourable and industrious governor in elevating Ogun state to new heights.
This, the party said, will truly give significance to the slogan ‘Igbega Ipinle Ogun, ajose gbogbo wa ni’.
