No fewer than 1000 members
of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
have dumped their parties for the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP in Akoko Northwest
and Northeast council areas of Ondo state.
The defectors were led by
SDP chieftains, including Ayo Oluwafemi and Abiola Ogunmodede and received by
former Deputy Governor, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo and former Chief Judge of Ondo
state, Justice Olasehinde Kumuyi.
Speaking on behalf of other
defectors, Oluwafemi and Ogunmodede said they decided to join the ZLP because
of its rich ideological background, social democratic standard and unmatched
achievements of its Presidential candidate, Dr Olusegun Mimiko when he was Ondo
state governor.
The former Deputy Governor,
Alhaji Oluboyo and former Chief Judge, Justice Kumuyi, assured the defectors of
equal opportunities in the party.
They urged them to work
assiduously for its success in the 2019 elections.
