Some PDP supporters from the state’s Idanre Local Government Area have been welcomed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State.
Members of the Social Democratic Party, or SDP, also defected to the ruling party in the same area.
The main driving force behind the defectors’ choice to join the APC was the underwhelming showing by their various former parties in the most recent general election.
They claim that their search for a new political platform was prompted by their discontent with the incapacity of their prior parties to successfully run their affairs.
The State Chairman of the APC, Adetimehin, who is also from Idanre Local Government, disclosed that the PDP chieftains that defected to his party were the ones who usually gave him and his party a difficult time during elections while welcoming the defectors to his party.
He predicted that the APC will have a field day in the local government elections as a result of their defection to his party.
