Mr Ayodeji Adu, a  Special Assistant on Local Government Affairs under the Ayo Fayose administration in Ekiti State, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

Adu,  along with some PDP supporters in Afao Ekiti, announced their defection when the campaign train of the APC House of Assembly candidate in Irepodun/ Ifelodun State Constituency II, Hakeem Jamiu, arrived the community on Wednesday.

The former governor’s aide, who spoke for the defectors, said they were motivated by Governor Kayode Fayemi’s “sterling” leadership qualities.

“I pledge my commitment to the success of the APC candidate in Afao-Ekiti. I want to assure you that the APC will have a block vote in the town come Saturday, ” he said.

It  was reported that Jamiu assured the people of the state that the next assembly would not be a rubber stamp under the Fayemi administration.
