ADP collapses structure into PDP ahead of 2023

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) yesterday said it has collapsed its structure into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State just as the opposition party pleaded with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to pay the backlog of civil servants salaries.

The ADP led by its leader, Prince Foluso Mayowa Adefemi, said the time has come for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to bow out of governance in the country, insisting that Nigerians can no longer condone its ineptitude and visionless governance. Adefemi, flanked by the state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Sule Oderinde, and other state executive committee members, led about 10,000 members of the ADP across the 18 local government areas of the state into the PDP. While admitting ADP into the PDP, leader of PDP memin the South-West, Engr. Seyi Makinde, who is also the governor of Oyo State, assured the new members of a level playing ground in the party.

The governor, who was represented by the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the 2020 election in Ondo State, Mr Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), said the party is ready to give the new members a sense of belonging in every aspect. Jegede said the party is lucky to have such a dependable and hard-working leader in the South-West.

He told the new members that in the PDP, there is comfort, unity of purpose and accommodation; adding that the presence of notable PDP leaders and stakeholders, including chairmen of local government areas is a demonstration of the love the leadership has for the new members. The state Chairman of the PDP, Hon. Fatai Adams, had commended the new members for taking a very bold decision to join the party, saying the rot in the educational sector, the bastardisation of the economy, health and other critical sectors of governance should worry any right thinking individuals. He said: “During the administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, the economy was in the first row, competing favourably with other world economies, lamentably today under APC, the per capita income can barely feed a day old baby. Every Nigerian is carrying a debt of not less than N270,000 per person due to indiscriminate and senseless borrowings by the APC government.
