Ondo APC Leader, Adeyeri, Defect To Labor Party

Prior to the 2023 general election, an All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Isua-Akoko in the Akoko South West/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Stephen Adeyeri and his supporters defected from the party to the Labor Party.

Speaking of his defection, Adeyeri said the move stemmed from his belief that Labor Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has shown sufficient reason to move Nigeria forward.

He said Obi deserves all the necessary support to enable him to win the 2023 general election and return the Nigerian to his former envious position on the Committee of Nations.

Adeyeri said he decided to pitch his tent with his supporters to work towards the realization of Peter Obi’s presidential ambition.

According to him, Nigeria needs a great financial engineer like Obi to enable the country to solve the multifaceted economic challenges that stand in the way of its sustainable development.

However, Adeyeri said the LP banner bearer is a skillful hand to change the ugly trend and provide a solution to the myriad challenges ranging from fuel scarcity, lack of electricity, hunger and a host of other challenges faced by the common man.

He expressed his optimism that Obi will bring back a new Nigeria that any citizen would be proud of, and said a new Nigeria is possible under the LP presidential candidate if elected in the country’s February 25 presidential election.

However, he instructed the people of the state to discontinue the possibility of expanding the collection of permanent voter cards (PVCs) to obtain their cards, saying use your PVC as a tool to drive out bad leadership.

LP Secretary of State Mr. Abiodun Agbaje welcomed the defectors and welcomed the defectors to the party.

He urged them to conduct door-to-door campaigns in all local government areas of the state, saying LP remains a party to beat in the election.

He noted that the state’s immediately former governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, performed creditably when he ruled the Sunshine State under the platform of Labor Party from 2009-2014, hence Labor Party must be voted by antecedents.

He said: “Labor Party is the only fast-growing party in Nigeria, we can see people uniting to join the Obi’s movement.

“When Mimiko was governor, can you compare his behavior with that of the current government, which has not lived up to the expectations of the people?

“People are tired of the current situation, my friend, Hon. Adeyeri has said it all, residents are suffering, no fuel, steep prices of food items, among other things, are complicating everyone, even the APC members lament the ostentatious hardship.

One of the defectors and a strong pillar of APC in Isua, who identified himself simply as Imoru, said his decision to join LP remains the best ever as Obi remains the best in the upcoming election

He said that Nigerians have tried both APC and PDP, and they have failed, saying now is the time to install credible and responsible leaders like Peter Obi and Adeyeri.
