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.
