The Ondo State APC chairman, Engineer Ade Adetimehin received, in droves, decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour party and the ADC into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oke Agbe-Akoko, the headquarters of Akoko North-West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The event, held at the Motor Park in Oke Agbe-Akoko, attracted party leaders, community stakeholders, youths, and women across the Akoko axis, signalling the increasing popularity of the ruling party in the state.
Hon. Alaba Arohunmolase, former PDP chairman, High chief Odeja, High chief Giwa, Hon. Bolaji, Chief Ojo Akinniyi, Prince Adeniyi Olanipekun and all PDP ward chairmen in Akoko North-West Local Government, led the decampees into the APC fold. The decampees, who came in their hundreds, said their decision was the result of the purposeful leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the grassroots mobilisation efforts of Dr. Tunji-Ojo. They eulogised the good works of the Interior Minister for making Akoko land, particularly Oke Agbe, proud, stressing that his achievements inspired their decision to pitch their tent with the APC.
Receiving the new members were the APC State Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, alongside members of the State Executive Committee, the local government chairman of the APC, Hon. Kehinde Obanla popularly called Ajapaara, and Asiwaju Olumuyiwa Asagunla, who represented the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister, Asiwaju Asagunla, who is also the Director General of the Asiwaju Mandate Group, Ondo State, warmly welcomed the new entrants and assured them of a level playing ground in the APC family.
“What we are witnessing today is a demonstration of faith in the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who, through the Renewed Hope Agenda, has begun to deliver tangible dividends of democracy to Nigerians. The APC is a home of progress, development, and inclusiveness, and I assure you all that your decision to join us today is a step into a brighter and more rewarding political future. The Minister, who facilitated and sponsored your decamping is honoured by your decision and appreciates that you responded positively to his consultations." He stated.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo further added that with President Tinubu’s people-centred governance, the country was already on the path of economic rejuvenation, security reforms, and infrastructural renewal. He urged the decampees to remain steadfast in supporting the administration for the greater good of all.
He enjoined the Decampees to spread the news of the good work of the present administration towards a better outing in the 2027 election.
