Notable chieftains of the Labour Party in Odigbo local government over the weekend dumped the party for the Action Congress of Nigeria.
The leader of the group, Mr Gbenga Fakayode said they were brought to the Labour Party by Hon Saka Lawal, who recently dumped the Labour Party on the account that the governor has high jacked the party and converted it to his personal property.
“We joined the Labour Party at the instance of the former special adviser to the governor who prevailed on us to work for the party. We did work for the Labour Party and through the help of God delivered. Now that the governor has polarized the party and good people are leaving, we are left with no option than to join others in the progressive camp”, Fakayode said.
Speaking at the event, the treasurer of A C N in Ondo state, Engineer  Adetimehin Ade said the party is ready to join hands with others to build Ondo state. He congratulates them and other mebers for taken bold decision to join the party.
Among those that decamped were, Gbenga Fakayode, Hon Segun Oyerinde, Tajudeen Adekunle, Rev. Dr Idogun, Mrs Regina Olajide and Mr Oyebode Funmibola (Funmi Art).
Others are Femi Owolabi, Orebiyi Mulikat, Adebisi Samuel, Sunday Abioye, Pa Kamoru Omidiji and Badiru Afolabi.
