Over 2,000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Idanre, Idanre Local Government of Ondo State.
The defectors were led by Senator Ayo Akinyelure.
APC Chairman in Ondo State, Ade Adetimehin, who received the defectors, said the party would continue to rule the state and the country.
He said APC would sweep next year’s governorship election because “prominent politicians from the state have dumped their parties and joined the progressive train.”
He said the party’s electoral successes were due to what he termed developmental feats recorded by the Governor Rotimi Akeredolu administration.
Senator Akinyelure said he joined the APC because he believed in the prosperity of Nigeria under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
