Exodus of defections from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) is said to have taken place early today in Ondo state.
Confirmed sources said that all the former Speakers in Ondo State House of Assembly, five Commissioners in Mimiko’s administration and eight local government chairmen in Ondo State defected to APC.
A rally in Akure, which was held in the APC state secretariat, was turned into a harvest of defection, with scores of local government councillors shifting from PDP to APC. They were led by former Chief of Staff to the late Governor Segun Agagu, Mr. Femi Agagu.
Sources said that the greatest shock at the rally was the defection of former Speaker Victor Olabimtan, who is a director in President Jonathan’s Campaign Organisation and also a current member of the Federal Civil Service Commission.
It was learnt that at the last count, no fewer than 48 PDP leaders in Ondo are leading thousands of their supporters to APC. [myad]
