Abiodun welcomes PDP, ADC ward leaders into APC, says opposition has lost its way

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun accepted former ward leaders from the opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC), into his ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking at a meeting in Abeokuta, Abiodun criticized opposition parties for their continued electoral failures, stating that the APC is the party to beat in Ogun State.

He questioned why people remained loyal to losing parties, noting that the PDP lost in 2019 and 2023, and the ADC had no notable achievements to offer. Abiodun emphasized that his administration prioritizes completing abandoned projects funded by taxpayers' money, vowing to finish them. He urged the new APC members to champion the Renewed Hope Agenda and assured them of future rewards under the APC-led administration.

The State APC Chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, welcomed the defectors, calling it a wise decision. Former PDP Ward Chairmen and ADC leaders expressed their support for the move, emphasizing their desire to embrace development under Governor Abiodun.
