He said he is overjoyed with the decision of the people to join the APC, vowing that the Party is ready to accommodate all
He said that the “mass defection of members of the opposition party to the ruling APC is an evident that the people have made up their minds to continue to support good government with clear focus.
Abiodun disclosed that people are daily trooping into the ruling party because it is so glaring that the APC remains a rallying point both at the state and national level.
He described Tele Ogunjobi as a big fish and another influential political leader in Ogun East, who is coming into APC with thousands of followers, saying that the Pary is big enough to accommodate all.
He lauded Ogunjobi “for being courageous enough to leave the PDP with his followers to team up with the APC,” assuring that the APC government will immediately integrate them into the mainstream of the Party.
