Ondo state Deputy Governor who defected from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ali Olanusi has opened up on why he had decided to go a different way from Governor Olusegun Mimiko with whom they won election under Labour Party (LP) and moved to PDP later.
He said in a statement today: “I have decided to lead my teeming supporters and well wishers in the state into the All Progressives Congress (APC) where we can find justice, fairness, equity and democratic liberty – a party which majority of our kith and kins in Yorubaland belongs.”
He said that in the unfolding political development, especially in Ondo State, it is increasingly clear that he needed to chart a new course for majority of his followers who look up to him for direction and leadership and who have watched helplessly in the last six years, the untold marginalization and total exclusion from the government they laboured to put in place.
Alhaji Olanusi said that he had taken the decision to defect to APC at this critical time, in the best interest of peace, stability and good governance of the state and for the overall development of the Southwest and the nation.
