Ondo deputy gov resigns from PDP, joins ZLP
Agboola Ajayi, deputy governor of Ondo state, has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This is coming less than a month after Agboola was defeated by Eyitayo Jegede, a former commissioner for justice and attorney-general of the state, at the party’s primary election for the October 10 governorship election.
Jegede polled 888 votes to defeat Ajayi who had 657 votes.
In June, the deputy governor defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP.
In a Twitter post on Monday, Agboola announced that he has moved to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) to achieve his political ambition.
“Today 10th August 2020, I Resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party to join Zenith Labour party to further my Aspirations,” Agboola tweeted.
“I appreciate the National Leadership and members of the party for their warm reception and acceptance in the short period i rejoined the party.”
Agboola will square off against Jegede and Rotimi Akeredolu, the incumbent governor, at the poll.
