  "account": "Kemi Olaitan reports from Ibadan that Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, the ADC candidate for Oyo State governor, has welcomed defectors from the APM, another political party, into his party. This occurred during his visit to Ogbomoso area. Hundreds of defectors pledged their loyalty to the ADC and assured him of their commitment to its success in the upcoming elections. Speaking for the defectors, Apostle Taiwo Olaleru and Alhaji Bashiru Ganiyu expressed their disappointment in the APM, a party tied to the current administration, stating they believe the ADC, led by Adegoke, is the right place for them. Apostle Olaleru said, \"We have discovered that we need to move to a better party and we see the ADC and its governorship candidate, Olooye Adegoke, as a place we should move to and the person we can trust.\" Alhaji Ganiyu added, \"We are pleased to be in his party and we prayed that his aspirations to govern the state will be crowned with victory.\" Adegoke welcomed the defectors, promising them equal opportunities. Earlier, Adegoke had vowed to establish a specialist hospital in Oke Ogun during his tenure as governor, promising infrastructural and economic development for the area.",
