Some members of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in Ondo State, on Monday, defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure, ahead of the Oct. 10 governorship election in the state.

Mr Busayo Olamigoke, a former ZLP Chairman in Ondo East LGA, led the defectors to APC Secretariat in Akure.

Adetimehin described the former ZLP chairman as ‘a notable politician and viable asset to any political party’, asking him and other defectors to go to ‘their wards and shine’.

“We don’t discriminate in APC. Your efforts and commitment to the party, particularly now that we are going into an election, will stand you out for recognition,” he said.

Speaking earlier, Olamigoke explained that they were moved by the achievements of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in less than four years and their resolve to belong to the mainstream of the state politics.

The event was witnessed by the member representing Ondo East Constituency in the state House of Assembly, Mr Olumide Olajidi, and an APC chieftain from the council area, Chief Olabisi Johnson, among others.
