Ekiti 2022: Ogunlade dumps APC for ADP

By Opeyemi Aremu-Gbemiro

Mr Ayo Ogunlade, a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, has defected to the Action Democratic Party (ADP).

He announced this on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti while addressing newsmen.

Ogunlade 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.

According to him, he joined ADP due to the rare leadership value and skills noticed in the person of Mrs Kemi Elebute-Halle, the party’s Governorship candidate.

Meanwhile, he promised to mobilize people of his constituency to vote in support of Elebute-Halle.

Receiving the defector, ADP executives welcomed Ogunlade and said he would not be treated like a newcomer but equal with all members.

Also, the ADP governorship candidate, Mrs Elebute-Halle said the presence of Ogunlade in the party is a plus and a sign of victory.

She urged people to continue to support her ambition with a promise to make the state better.
